This turkey isn't dumb. He knows what cranberries mean. If he escapes to the "tall timbers," he won't be caught and eaten for Thanksgiving.
Cranberries are a native American plant that grow in bogs and marches. They were included in the first Thanksgiving meal by the Pilgrims and are traditionally associated with Thanksgiving. Massachusetts is the largest producer of cranberries, followed by Wisconsin.
This Cranberries and how to cook them booklet is a 1950s promotion for Eatmor brand cranberries. It has 40 pages and has general information about cranberries in addition to many recipes. The recipes are divined into six sections: Sauces and Relishes, Hot Breads, Entrees, Salads, Pies, and Desserts. Shown below are the cover and several of the pages.

Awesome postcard! I LOVE vintage postcards, there is something about them...
ReplyDeleteThe turkey postcard is very nice! I have seen on TV how cranberries are harvested when they float on water. Cranberries grow wild in Finland, too. We by them for Christmas covered with fine sugar , just like tiny snowballs.
ReplyDeletelove the cranberry man!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
Great post! I may have a turkey postcard similar to yours but with the turkey posed just slightly different. Will post it sometime before Thanksgiving. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the graphics from the 1950's. Cranberries and turkeys are much a part of our Thanksgiving and cranberries are so good for you. Good VTT.
ReplyDeleteI love your post cards! Your posts are so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in central Wisconsin, right in the HEART of cranberry growing country!!! Some of our dear friends lived and worked on the marsh (as it is called up there)
ReplyDeleteI believe I SAW this little booklet back in the day - - - perhaps my mom had one, or maybe I saw it in the kitchen of one of our marsh friends!
I love this and I LOVE cranberries--very cool!
ReplyDeleteMy DH is from MA & he loves all things cranberry but especially my cranberry orange relish made with a little cognac!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I do love canned cranberry Jelly type sauce...I know, I know that's probably not the real deal...lol..maybe that's why I like it.
ReplyDeleteBut I did enjoy reading your vintage recipes. I have tried cranberries sauce made fresh still don't like it, don't like the juice either...sorry, I'll go stand in the corner now... :-(
Love the post card!
ReplyDeleteand aren't those old recipe books awesome? This is a particularly cute one with the little cranberry person. Nice post.

Oh I love it! The little cranberry man is so cute! Each Thanksgiving, we start on our tree garland; popcorn and cranberries. After Christmas, we string the cranberry/popcorn on a tree outdoors. I love cranberries!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite posts this month. I lvoe the way you combined the recipes with the postcard!
