Harvesting Cranberries

It's that time of year when the air is crisp, daylight is fading and cranberries are ripe for harvest. Watch Bill Couto's crew Harvesting Cranberries as they corral and upload fruit to the tune of 40,000 lbs per truck! The berries are transported to a receiving station where Stephen Ashley takes us through a day of Receiving & Sorting Cranberries. Loaded with powerful antioxidant vitamins, calcium, iron and potassium, a glass of cranberry juice might just be what the doctor ordered!

Cooking with Cranberries

Cranberries are a versatile fruit. Sweet, tart, fresh or dried, they have a lot to offer. Use them in breads, desserts and chutneys or add them to your morning oatmeal. A colorful splash of cranberry juice in a Cosmopolitan is a nice way to end the day!
