Cranberries


This week we had a box of frozen cranberries to work with.  Does anyone really know what to do with cranberries?  Ocean Spray does.  On their website they have a wonderful selection of recipes for all occassions.  We adjusted some of their recipes and made Citrus Harvest Muffins, Cranberry Pineapple Cilantro Salsa, and Roasted Cranberry Quesadillas (again making our own tortillas).  If we had a juicer in the classroom I'm sure we would have made our own juice too! And, just think if we had a food dehydrator...things to add to our wish list.
BC is currently the largest producer of cranberries in Canada with approximately 80 growers. We learned about how cranberries harvested, their health benefits, and where they are grown - which is basically in our backyard.
