The most traditional product made of cranberries is cranberry sauce. Elizabeth Lee, a cranberry grower from New Egypt in Ocean County, is credited with being the first person to make this delicious sauce in New Jersey. In 1917 she boiled some bruised, un-salable berries with sugar and spices to make the jelly-like product. When she first tried to market cranberry sauce, there was little interest in it. But within a few years it caught on, and she formed her own company. She eventually merged with a cranberry company in Massachusetts that had also been marketing cranberry sauce, and this became the basis for what is now the largest cranberry cooperative – Ocean Spray.

Some poor child's gonna get an F because of you. Thanks for the laugh!! Invented in 1924, but present at the first thanksgiving in 1619, cranberries really are magical. ;-)
