According t6an exchange, Cape Cod
grower is advertising cranberry juice and
powdered cranberries. In the winter of
1914-15 Cape Cod growers, like those of
New Jersey, had lot Of berries that
they could not get enough for to pay for
shipping. This Massachusetts, man
tried two plans to utilize his berries.
One is cranberry juice, something like
grape juice, which can be used either as
u favor, or when diluted and sweetened,
as drink. By the other plan, first the
berries were evaporated, then ground to
powder, and put up in packages. To
use the powder, water is applied, and is
claimed to cook like the ripe fruit. : An
other plan is to sell the eyaporated ber-
ries, and this process calls for quartering
each berry first. Evaporated cranberries
will keep indefinitely in almost any
climate.
