In a saucepan, combine the Lowbush Cranberry Juice, boiling water, and sugar and boil for 3 minutes. Add the orange juice and boil 2 minutes more. When the mixture has cooled, gently stir in the horseradish and mustard. This is an excellent sauce for serving with ham. (Leave out the horseradish and mustard, and you have a hotcake syrup or dessert sauce.) It’s best when served warm.

The two “cranberries” you find in Alaska—lowbush cranberries and highbush cranberries—are different from the fruit you typically find on the Thanksgiving table in the lower forty-eight. Also called lingonberries, lowbush cranberries are so named because they grow on close-to-the-ground, small-leafed, bushy plants. Highbush cranberries growon taller shrubs with relatively large, maplelike leaves. Both types of berries are nutrient-dense and veryacidic,boasting high levels of antioxidants.
