CRANBERRY SPARKLE
by Kirs. Richard C. Spence
Bright red, tart-flavored cran
berries contribute mostly color,
flavor and variety to everyday
meals. They also furnish small
amounts of valuable nutrients
needed by the body such as
Vitamin A, for clear healthy
skin and normal eye vision at
night; Vitamin C for healthy
gums and building up resistance
to disease; and small amounts
of calcium, iron and phosphoi
us.
These tart berries are rich in
pectin, a jellying substance,
making them popular for jams
ind jellies
Scientists find that unstrain
ed sauce has 75 to 80 per cent
of the original Vitamin C of
the fruit, but stiained sauce
loses practicially all of this vita
min as does bottled cran
berry juice However, some
cranberry cocktail on the mar
ket today has been fortified
with extra amounts of Vitamin
C
Good quality cranberries
should have a fresh, plump ap
pearance, combined with a high
Iqster and firmness The red

if kept at a uniform tempera
ture, but freezing will keep
quality better. Avoid putting
cold berries in a warm room
since the worm air causes them
to sweat and encourages decay.
Wash cranberries Just before
using them.
This tart fruit is a popular
meat accompaniment and
brightens up many other foods.
Try cranberry sauce on waffles,
pancakes or steamed pudding.
Or add chopped cranberries to
your favorite muffin recipe or
breakfast bread for a welcome
change.
The tangy flavor of cranberry
juice is nice served as an ap
petizer and combined with other
juices such as pineapple, grape,
orange or grapefruit, adds a
rosy hue as well as a piquant
flavor. Add a scoop of sherbet
to give cranberry juice a party
touch for luncheons or dinners.
