CRANBERRIES
the Year ’Round Berries with the Bounce
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
The Beginning of the Berries
Cranberries are truly North American berries. Before Columbus came to
the new world, the tangy wild cranberries had an important place in
everyday life here. Indian squaws used cranberries to brighten up food.
The Wampanoag Indians of Cape Cod area treated wounds from poisoned
arrows with a cranberry dressing. Squaws made their rugs and blankets
colorful with the red cranberry juice.
Pilgrim women learned of this wild berry from the friendly Indians. They
soon began to create their own ways of fixing cranberries for their
tables. They made cranberry sauces, bubbling tarts and nogs.
[Illustration: IT’S BEAUTIFUL, DEAR]
The Naming of the Berries
Cranberries were called different names by different Indians:
“Sassamanesh” by eastern Indians and “Atoqua” by the Algonquians in
Wisconsin. In New Jersey, where cranberries were the symbol of peace,
“Pakimintzen” meant cranberry eater.
The word “cranberry” was a contraction of crane berry, an early name
given to the berries because their pale pink blossoms resembled the head
of a crane. Cranes were seen in the lowlands, enjoying the berries.
[Illustration: PAKIMINTZEN—HEAP GOOD]
The Taming of the Berries
Cultivation of cranberries began in Massachusetts nearly 200 years after
the landing of the Pilgrims. In 1816 Henry Hall of Dennis, Cape Cod,
noticed that cranberries seemed to grow larger and juicier where sand
from the dunes blew over the vines. Cultivation today came from this
simple observation made more than 150 years ago.
Cranberries grow on peat soil that has been covered with a three inch
layer of sand. Cuttings or branches from existing cranberry vines are
planted deep enough to take root in the peat soil beneath the sand. The
vines, planted about six inches apart, gradually spread over the ground
forming a thick green carpet. The vines are weeded in the spring, pruned
in the fall, fertilized and resanded every three or four years. Vines
are protected from frost by flooding and irrigated in time of drought.
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
Birds are needed to control the insects. Bees pollinate the blossoms.
Cranberries were first picked by hand then by wooden fingered scoops
which combed the berries from the vines. Since World War II, the scoops
have been replaced by mechanical pickers which complete the harvest
faster and cut down risk of frost damage.
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
The Testing of the Berries
Every cranberry delivered to a receiving station must measure up to the
highest standards of quality before it can travel under the Ocean Spray
label. After passing through a machine which blows out the chaff, a
cranberry must demonstrate that it’s got bounce. Bounce? That’s right.
You wonder why? It’s this simple—a good firm berry will bounce. A soft
berry won’t. Mechanical separators give each berry seven chances to
bounce over four-inch wooden barriers. Berries that don’t have the
necessary bounce are discarded. Only the lively ones go on to the
screening room where canvas belts carry them between rows of sharp-eyed
women who pick out any not up to Ocean Spray’s standards of appearance.
After proving themselves worthy of the Ocean Spray label, cranberries
for the fresh market go to packaging machines. Those for ready-to-serve
products go either to wash tanks for immediate processing or to freezers
which hold them until they’re needed.
Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. is a national cooperative with
grower-members in five cranberry-growing states: Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon. They produce an annual harvest
of over 200 million pounds of cranberries.
