Slight correction. The commercially grown cranberry that's native to central areas of Canada and the US is Vaccinium macrocarpon. The berry that commonly grows in Europe is Vaccinium oxycoccus.
Thank you! And for letting me off the hook by saying the correction is 'slight'! For botanists, my mistake must be the diabolical medical error of misnaming by a tiny degree a threatening disease! One of the things I love about Substack is how many readers know so much about so many different subjects.
Love the odd to cranberries but I'm seriously disturbed by yet another government that seems determined to doom independent farms and farmers to extinction. Thanks for the heads-up, Julia!

Love your newsletter Julia. A great read and education. :) Merci!
I'm so pleased. Thank you! And I love Chateau Feely wines!
Thanks for picking that up! You're right!

I meant of course the "ode" to cranberries! I should read these things before posting them, shouldn't I?
Hi Julia - I think there's a mistake in the pastry recipe. Flour appears twice and I'm guessing that one of them should have been butter?
I share your appreciation of cranberries, Julia. We buy bags of them fresh to freeze and enjoy in smoothies and quick breads.
