New Cronberry Products
New arrivals here in town are
nine cranberry items prod
ducts from the bogs Of the Pa
cific Northwest. In the extreme
southwestern tip of Washington.
where the Columbia River flows
into the Pacific, there's long
narrow peninsula rich in peat
bogs and abounding in fresh
water lakes. In earlier days wild
berries grew here in great pro-
fusion. Indians used them as
barter in trading with the fur
trappers and traders. Long since
the wild berries have been re-
placed with the finest cultivated
varieties especially suited to the
cool climate of the region. After
the bogs were well established,
the owners looked around for
new worlds to conquer, new roles
for their brilliantly, colored ber-
ries. Raspberries, blueberries
and strawberries growing in
nearby fields offered tempting
test material. The result is a
new line of cranberry delicacies.
The preserves, jams and sauces
are prepared in small patches,
thus retaining that sought-for
fresh fruit flavor. Packaged in
8-ounce glass jars are blueberry-
cranberry preserves. raspberry
cranberry jam, and strawberry
cranberry preserves. The house
also makes a jellied and whole
cranberry sauce, juice, jelly, and
a topping for ice cream.
