  • About

Cranberry Found in bogs and wet heaths mainly in the Lake District and surrounding area, this is a well-known berry in America and Scandinavia but in Britain one cannot find it in large enough quantities to make the inclusion of special recipes for it worthwhile.

The American cranberry is a different plant with fruit twice the size of the British species; it is often the fruit of this plant that can be found in our supermarkets.

These are the stuff of the hunter gatherer of old. Roots were perhaps only eaten in desperation over winter, when the birds and animals had finished off all the nuts and fruit. Who hasn’t nibbled on bilberries when climbing hills or strolling in the woods?
