Glad you like the cranberry ketchup - I really like it too! Can’t wait to read about other canning projects you do

Yes, I get my cranberries from MA…. it is actually not too hard - there are some mid-size growers here that don’t mix sources like Ocean Spray does (that is one of the most frustrating things for me, when a company mixes its production so it is hard to track down the source…). The Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association page has good links to midsize growers who sell on their own, or how their cooperative products are labeled. Its in most of the store around here I’ve found, or can be ordered/picked up directly.
I made your cranberry ketchup and preserved it this weekend, and LOVE it. Thank you! Like you, I needed to make more room in my freezer for more winter food storage, and these were a way to use them in a new way and explore canning. Wonderful.

Mangochild-
Thanks for the note. I checked out your site - love it! You probably get cranberries from MA? What is it like getting local cranberries in the Northeast? Even though we have a lot of local cranberry growers, they are difficult to buy direct or even in the supermarket. I see WI cranberries in our market or the mixed bag from Ocean Spray (they mix cranberries from all regions together for their bags).

Thank you! I’ve been looking for more ways to use all the cranberries I have stored and frozen. I’ve just started to explore canning/preserving as a localvore, and this book looks like a good source. I know my project for the next couple days

Yum. I love that book. I have a bag of leftover cranberries in the freezer, hmm…

Thanks for your note. I actually had already updated the link.

I’m going to go to the bean meeting I just posted about (but will arrive late). Maybe I’ll see you there?
