    I don't make my own cranberry sauce, but after reading your helpful lens I really would like to try. Thank you so much for sharing your experience of making it, it really is interesting and I loved reading your lens. If I were a squid angel I would bless this lens!

    Awesome, cranberry sauce is a favorite never thought about making it. Thanks for sharing...

    I'd love to come and pick my own cranberries. Makes them taste even more delicious when you have participated in the natural process. Great lens!

    What is the name and address of the small cranberry bog you visited in Maine? I'm very excited to visit!
  • happynutritionist Nov 22, 2010 @ 8:36 am | delete
    Thanks for your visit...you will find that information above with the Google Map under "Map a Route to the Cranberry Bog". It has been 3 years ago since we have been there, please let me know if you stop by and anything has changed. Thanks again!

    Congratulations on your success in the 2009 Giant Squid Awards! Cranberries are so good. Long Island is also another place where cranberry bogs as plentiful. I use to love going to the farm stand for fresh cranberries.
  • happynutritionist Dec 23, 2009 @ 8:03 am | delete
    Long Island isn't all that far from us, it does make me wonder how many states have Cranberry Bogs...Maine, though, is known for their good berries, blueberries included. Thanks for the visit and have a wonderful Christmas.

    Claudia, I don't think we have cranberry production in the UK/Europe why? But we see a lot of cranberry health products, cranberry juices, cranberries in cereals etc. Congrats on your Giant Lens nomination
  • happynutritionist Dec 14, 2009 @ 9:52 am | delete
    I am not sure whether there are cranberrys in Europe or not...that would be an interesting thing to explore. I was surprised to find that there was/is a place where they are grown here in my State. Thanks for the visit and have a good Christmas. Congrats on your nomination as well. ~claudia

    This is very interesting. I didn't know Maine was a "hot spot" for cranberries. Your information is very valuable to those of us who are always looking for healthy and creative choices. Also congratulations on getting your lens noticed in this way. Another fine example of BDN members on the move and making a difference!
  • happynutritionist Nov 29, 2009 @ 10:33 pm | delete

    Beautiful lens! Although I am a purist (I put tart cranberry concentrate into a glass of cold water YUM, once you get used to the tartness.

    But when I am not being a purist, I really love a sandwich with cold turkey, stuffing and a slice of that awful cranberry jelly!
