Cranberries in the Home Garden
Cranberries are an iconic part of American cuisine, thanks almost exclusively to a single dish: the deep red sauce often served at Thanksgiving (though cranberry juice is also popular). That's hardly a surprise, since they were common in the regions where Europeans first settled in North America.
While the cranberry is best grown in the northeast, you don't have to live there to grow them. As long as you live in a moderate climate (one that's neither too cold nor too hot) and are willing to put in a little effort, you can be ladling homegrown cranberry sauce on your turkey in two or three years.
