Cranberry is a small, ruby-red berry with a firm skin and pale, juicy interior. Extremely tart and astringent when raw, its natural pectin helps sauces gel during cooking. Commonly simmered into sauces and relishes, baked into breads and muffins, or steeped in syrups; sold fresh, frozen, or dried.\n\nNative to North American bogs, it features prominently in regional cuisines and holiday dishes. Commercial production centers in the United States and Canada, where wet-harvest methods flood bogs to float ripe berries for collection.
