Yes, it's true. However, if you are outside in the middle of winter and run across them, you may find the taste of a fresh fruit refreshing. The smell is probably a little less when the berries are that cold. They are probably also more palatable when you only eat a few at a time rather than concentrating them as you did.
Interestingly the birds seem to leave them alone, so they are available all winter. I planted some on purpose.

I found some wild high bush cranberries, Viburnum trilobum, growing
on
my property. The berries are slightly smaller than a cherry and
bright red. I collected a few pounds, ran them briefly through the
food processor, strained the juice and simmered it with some sugar.
I
thought the taste was sweet enough but when I left the house to move
some hoses I noticed it smelled like a high school locker room when I
returned. Like socks that were only clean at the beginning of the
school year. I only made enough for a pint jar and brought it to
work
where everyone thought the same as I. If they tried it at all they
said it tasted OK but the smell was like old socks.
Did I harvest the berries at the wrong time? Or is this jam for a
starving man? Does anyone have a recipe for making this palatable?
