Cranberry Gourmet Pillar Candle

Cranberry plants belong to the same family as the cranberry and have drooping, pink flowers and small, thick, evergreen leaves.

The small, European cranberry grows wild in marshlands of temperate and colder regions of Europe and North America. The large, American cranberry is cultivated in the northeastern United States in sand-covered bogs that can be flooded or drained as needed.

Flooding protects the vines from frosts and freezing weather and destroys insect pests. Most of the cranberry crop produced in the United States each year is canned as sauce or jelly or bottled as juice.
