The history of cranberry sauce reflects the fusion of Native American and European culinary traditions, and it has become an iconic element of the holiday season in the Americas. When European settlers arrived in the Americas they learned from Native American tribes about the use in cooking of cranberry, an ingredient that was very present in Native food because of its characteristic sour flavor. In the 18th century, with the spread of sugar, the original recipe was transformed and took on the sweet and sour flavor of today. In popular culture, cranberry sauce, with its red color, becomes an accompaniment for turkey on Thanksgiving and a symbol of Christmastime. This custom has persisted to the present day so much so that cramberry sauce is a staple on American tables during the holidays.
