Something you can make with dried cranberries
Origin
Cranberries are native to North America, particularly the northeastern United States and Canada. Native Americans have been using cranberries for centuries, and they were an important part of their diet. The berries were traditionally harvested and dried in the sun for preservation. When European settlers arrived, they also began using cranberries in their cooking and preserving methods. Today, cranberries are commercially grown and harvested in various parts of North America, including Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Quebec. The berries are typically harvested in the fall and then dried to create the popular ingredient known as dried cranberries.
