Survey: Which is the Real Cranberry?



Cranberries are a staple of Thanksgiving Dinner.  But which is the proper way to serve and consume this quintessential side dish; canned or fresh? Are 'real' cranberries only cooked and served straight from the produce isle or is it not 'real' cranberry unless in the form of a can-shaped log carved into perfect circular slices?


Take the survey:

Which is the proper way to serve Cranberries at Thanksgiving?







Cranberry Trivia
  1. The high nutrient and anti-oxidant content of cranberries has many producers marketing them as 'super fruits'.  They also help prevent Urinary Tract Infections. Bonus.
  2. Cranberries are native to North America. The Pilgrims called them 'Craneberries'. Whalers used to take them to sea to prevent scurvy.
  3.  The Irish band The Cranberries were originally called Cranberry Saw Us, a pun on Cranberry Sauce.
  4. Canned cranberry sauce will last for 1-2 years if unopened.  So if you don't get through all of your cranberry logs this Thanksgiving, save 'em for next year's feast...
