Ocean Spray Cranberries

I’ve been drinking Ocean Spray’s LIGHT Cranberry juice for years and loved it. Now they decided to change their formula. They added APPLE and GRAPE to their light cranberry juice so it doesn’t even taste like cranberry anymore. When I called Ocean Spray, they said customers complained it was too tart. Well here’s a news flash, cranberries are TART! If you don’t like it, Ocean Spray also makes Cran-​Apple… tell them to drink that, don’t add apples & grapes to Cranberry juice, change the taste and continue to call it cranberry juice, because its NOT.
Their light cranberry juice doesn’t taste like cranberry juice at all anymore. It taste’s like cran-​apple juice.
So in short, Ocean Spray is FALSE ADVERTISING the fact that they have a LIGHT CRANBERRY juice. The truth is they no longer make a light cranberry juice, they make a light cranberry-​apple-​grape juice that they continue to market as cranberry juice. I will no longer purchase Ocean Spray’s light cranberry juice since I don’t want to taste apple & grape in my cranberry juice.

you gotta love cranberries! this sweet tart fruit is a great juice drink and good for me as well. it’s good for my heart, can prevent cancer, gum disease and i can say i have never had a bladder infection.
when it comes to cranberries it seems ocean spray owns the market for sure. since i was little i remember going over to my grandparents house to be treated with a huge glass of oj and cranberry juice. since then i fell in love with that combination and have been a big fan of cranberries ever since. in middle school my lunchbox was always stocked with an ocean spray juice box. oh the good old days! it’s been over 20 years since my last juice box.
if your a fan of grapefruit they pretty much own the market on them as well. ocean spray has some really good products out there these days. i can’t forget about the craisins! i can get my cranberry fix on the go anytime i want. these sweet n tart dried treats are awesome and i use them for everything. they are fantastic for cooking with and there are so many possibilities. if you love cranberries get out there and get your fix this holiday season.

It has been years, since I have visited part of the 99,000 Acres of Cranberry Bogs, in Massachusetts, but this is one of those sights and visits that remain etched in our memories for life.
Surrounded by tall evergreens, with walking trails is a beautiful «lake» set before your eyes of wonderful blues and a sea of red, cranberries, that is. These are the Bogs, where the Cranberries are harvested. The Cranberry is a wild berry that grows in a sandy bog, on vines. The cranberry has been used for medicinal purposes, since the times of the Medicine Man.
Oceanspray has been in business for over 75 years and they are the leader of canned & bottled juices in North America.
In addition to the juice and fresh or canned cranberries, they have other products, such as Craisins, which are Sweetened Dried Cranberries and flavored in various ways from cherry to chocolate.
Oceanspray also grows and produces Grapefruit products.
Legend has it that the Pilgrims served cranberries at the first Thanksgiving. The tradition still continues today. My favorite way to serve whole cranberry sauce is to stir in mandarin orange segments and pineapple tidbits, both drained of juice. Sometimes I add walnuts and other times I add a cranberry or raspberry gelatin to turn it into a mold and that is where I would save those juices that were drained, to add into my Gelatin. Always a big hit!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don’t forget to sauce it up, with Cranberries, that is! ;+} Of course, you could have a Cape Codder or a Madress or a Safe Sex on the Beach or a Blizzard or a…
