John Kerry, US Stae Senator, Massachusetts


Recipe Introduction

"Senator Kerry hopes that you will enjoy this special Massachusetts treat as much as he and his family do. Massachusetts grows the largest crop of cranberries in the world. Because of such an accomplishment, cranberry juice has been the State Beverage since 1970, and the cranberry itself has been the State Berry since 1994. The Senator is proud to submit such a symbolic recipe for your enjoyment."
