High bush cranberries 16
Julie Cascio, University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service While the first freeze stops plants from growing, it is a time when some berries ripen. Highbush Cranberry is one. Viburnum edule is a straggly shrub that can grow to 8 feet tall. The fruit, a red drupe with a flattened stone, grows in clusters on short branches. The leaves turn red in the fall. The ripe fruit is available in late summer and fall; it softens after the first frost. If picked before the first frost, the hard fruit is more acidic; sour tasting. Some prefer the flavor at that time. After frost highbush cranberries ripen. The berry sweetens and has a musty flavor and odor. It makes a yummy “catsup” enjoyed with meat. It is good eaten with rice and vegetables as well. Highbush cranberries are high in vitamin A, vitamin C and dietary fiber. One serving (½ cup) has 60 calories. They are a very rich source of antioxidants. When the berries are processed, antioxidant levels change. Drying it as fruit leather increases the overall antioxidant level. Canning the fruit, as a juice, sauce, syrup or jam, reduces the antioxidant level, but it continues as a good source.

Clean the berries: Spread a clean, dry, terry cloth towel over a slanted surface, such as a cutting board, with one end propped up a few inches above the other. Gently roll the berries down the towel; most of the debris and leaves will cling to the towel while the berries roll over it. Store Highbush cranberries covered in the refrigerator. They will keep three to four days. Store in shallow containers to prevent crushing the berries. Freeze firm berries with glossy skins. Remove any stems or leaves and sort out shriveled berries. Wash, if needed, and drain
www.cespubs.uaf.edu Highbush Cranberries FNH-00112 Highbush cranberries make a beautiful jelly and are popular in many products. The berries aren’t used in pies and other baked goods because of the large, flat seeds. They combine well with other fruits such as raspberries, currants, rose hips, rhubarb, apples and lemons.
