North America reddish gift of land was conveyed to a group of pilgrims fleeing their old home across the Atlantic in the far XVI century, their descendants gave it a name, which today we refer to as cranberry. The fruit was domesticated to the delight of all of us and the twentieth century put it on the table of the homes around the globe, how to contribute to this wonderful food story that began between nomadic tribes? Maybe wrapping the fruit with the tips of our tongues.

Cranberries were first used by Native North America, who used it as food (cranberry is part of pemmican, recipe using fat, fruits and meat that helped surviving nomadic tribes) and medicine (it’s high in vitamin C so helped the Americans to fight scurvy whalers). Today we know that the cranberry is especially useful for preventing urinary tract infections (though doesn’t cure infection), cleaning urinary tract and eliminating odors in the urine, also has a high content of antioxidants and vitamin C. Its usefulness and delicious flavor makes it ideal for you to share the following three recipes that I hope you find them useful:

    The second two recipes look perfect for tempting my little ones to eat healthily! It’s good to learn that cranberries are so jam packed with healthy ingredients and that it should be incredibly easy to sway my kids to eat them. I think I’ll try the popsicle recipe first as the weather has been gorgeous here recently. At the moment the only cranberries consumed in our household are from Cranberry juice; it’ll be good to have a variety of options from now on.

    Wow!! These are really great recipes too!! I’m super excited about the chicken fajitas. I find I really, really like cooking with mustard, but I just don’t come up with many great ideas for blending it in with staples! I also really like dried cranberries in the morning with a bowl of oats, topped with greek yogurt.
