Cranberry season isn’t over yet...

Now that you’ve had a few days to recover from turkey, stuffing and cranberry overload – consider keeping the cranberries in rotation for a while...

Native Americans and settlers depended on a hefty crop of cranberries to see them through the winter. Cranberries have unique medicinal qualities that help to fight infections of the urinary tract, gut and help stave off gum disease, heart disease and cancer. Their tart flavor has come in handy for centuries to liven up some otherwise bland winter grub.

For a really traditional Native American winter treat, save some cranberries for your pemmican – a dense cake consisting of cranberries, any nuts you can find and some bear meat.
