CRANBERRY
EXCELS IN
NORTHLAND
By LYDIA FOHN-HANSEN
Home Demonstration Agent
Of all the Alaska berries the
low-bush cranberry is perhaps
the most versatile and has most
appetite appeal. Before the war
tons of the berries were imported
in the States from Sweden t« be :
fwecJ »n various juices and ice |
cream dressings. For shipment
they were packed in kegs and '
covered wiht cold water.
{
For home use it’s hard to find ,
a more delicious sauce to serve i
with turkey, pork or other meat
than the raw relish which can
be made up in the fall and kept
in crocks or jars in a coolplace.
Raw Relish
To each quart of cranberries
add one quart <2 cups) sugar. Stu
with a wooden ladle until sugai
is dissolved. Store in a crock oi
jar mixing it well whenever a
part of the contents is removed
Keep in a cool dark place.
Cranberry Shortcake
Grind two cups of cranberries
and two apples. Add two cups
sugar and beat well. Serve as a
short cake with plain cake 01
rich biscuit.
