Quick Tip
This well-priced cut of meat does best when cooked low and slow. Don’t try to make it on the high setting of a slow cooker
or it may end up chewy and stringy.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
