About Cranberries, wild, bush, raw (Alaska Native)

The squashberry, also called mooseberry, pembina, or highbush cranberry, is a wild fruit of a shrub native to the cool forests and streambanks of northern North America. Its clusters of translucent red berries ripen in late summer and fall, offering a tart, tangy flavor that turns richer and sweeter after the first frosts. Too sour to enjoy by the handful, the berries have long been gathered by Indigenous and rural northern peoples and cooked with sugar into vibrant jellies, jams, sauces, and syrups, where their sharpness shines alongside meats and game.

Each berry holds a single flat seed, so the fruit is usually strained after cooking. Like other wild red berries, the squashberry supplies vitamin C and antioxidant plant pigments. Its bright acidity makes an excellent tart preserve and a lively stand-in where cranberries are called for. Pick fully colored, glossy berries, ideally after a frost has mellowed them, and use them promptly in cooking or freeze them, since the tender fruit does not keep long fresh.
