Craig Evankoe asked, "Does anyone have a recipe for making this palatable?"


    Here at Brambleberry Fruit Farm, we blend it with Wild Black Cherry to 
make our Fruit of the Forest Syrup, a customer favorite.  There is no bad 
smell.  We process the fruit by heating it to 180 degrees for ten hours in 
an electric roaster.  Prior to bottling, we heat the fruit juice blend to 
190 degrees.
    We plan to make a jelly of it but, instead of pectin and boiling, we 
will use xanthan gum or carob bean gum as a thickener and not boil it.  It 
seems that the process of boiling Highbush Cranberry is what brings out the 
nasties.
