This fall we bought 5 pounds of fresh Cape Cod Cranberries, thanks to
Boston Localvores, who advertised the sale on their website. Susan shared these with us, and they came from
Cranberry Hill Farm in Plymouth, MA, where they are grown organically. Cranberry bogs are beautiful in the fall when they turn red before harvesting, and are a unique site on our Cape Cod landscape. These berries arrived in coolers at Boston Localvores' home, where we picked up our bags of the beautiful red jewels!
As a Christmas surprise, I took a small bag of these New England berries to California in my suitcase for Andrew's mom Geri. Geri, a splendid local eater (she has her own flock of sheep!), made us spectacular cranberry muffins using dried apricots, just enough sugar, oats, and rice flour. Mmmmm.
We are seeking good cranberry recipes - both sweet and savory - for our bounty. I call upon the bakers in my life (and you know who you are!) to send me tasty recipes!
