Cranberries Highlight Thanksgiving Table As American as apple pie is a time- honored phrase, but it would apply more aptly to the cranberry, that brilliant red fruit introduced to the Pilgrims by friendly Indians back in 1620. Thanksgiving would not seem complete in most homes without the traditional turkey accompanied by a sauce or jelly of cranberries. But how many of us realize that this versatile fruit is a valuable addition to countless dishes from coffee cake to chicken salad? Cranberry juice is used to soften liverwurst into a pate. Cranberries are often added as a filling for coffee rings.

Cranberry cookies arc a favorite for kids after school. Cranberry sauce and brown sugar make a glaze for baked ham, and cranberry borscht is becoming almost as popular as the original Russian version of this hearty soup. The American Indians called the fruit Ibimi or "bitter berry." They used the cranberry to make pemmican, mixing the berries with dried venison and fat. Containing much nutriment and little bulk, pemmican was ideal for rations while on the trail. It seems that an imaginative Pilgrim likened the pink cranberry blossoms to the heads of cranes and called them craneberries.

which later became contracted to the present name. Wild cranberries remained popular as the Pilgrim settlements grew. Each fall entire families would gather to pick enough berries to preserve for the long winter. Cranberries were probably the first native American fruit to be eaten in Europe, because they kept so well. Packed in water, they were shipped by the ton to the Old World.

Sailors ate them on long voyages to try to prevent scurvy. The little berry has become big business. Back in 1969, about 1.5 million barrels a hundred pounds to the barrel were marketed in this country. Cranberry products are available the year round. But they are most popular during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Here's a recipe for cranberry chiffon tarts that should go nicely during one of the holidays. 2 envelopes unfavored gelatin cup water cups fresh cranberries ''4 cup water 1 cup sugar Vz teaspoon salt cup fresh orange juice 2 teaspoons grated orange rind 3 egg whites 8 baked 3-inch tart shells cup heavy cream, whipped 1 teaspoon powdered sugar Soften gelatin in 2 cup water and set aside. Wash and pick over cranberries. Place in saucepan with the 'j cup water. Cover and cook till skins pop (about ten '2 cup of the sugar, the salt and softened gelatin.

Mix well. Stir in orange juice and rind. Chill till mixture begins to thicken. Beat egg whites till they peak then beat in remaining 'a cup sugar. Fold egg whites and sugar into cranberry mixture and spoon into tart shells.

Chill till ready to serve. Top with whipped cream sweetened with the powdered sugar. Yields eight tarts. County Marriage Licenses David William Heicher, Stamford, N.Y., and Jeanne Ellen Kassulke, Indiana. Anthony Fred Kurtz Indiana, and Nancy Ann Meighen, Indiana.
