2007 OCEAN SPRAY ULTIMATE CRANBERRY RECIPE CONTEST
 
 
Ocean Spray held its first cook-off on October 31 - November 1 in New York, New York.  "The contest, a challenge to develop new culinary creations with, of course, cranberry as the key ingredient, attracted more than 2,000 recipes, including everything from festive cocktails and decadent desserts to chutneys, salads and hearty stews."  The actual cooking was done at the De Gustibus Culinary Institute and a reception was  held at Rockefeller Center at the Ocean Spray's "Big Apple Bog" with the awards ceremony following at Brasserie Ruhlmann.
