Americans are divided over whether to have fresh or canned cranberry sauce at their Thanksgiving table, according to data from Instacart.
By the numbers: Fresh cranberry sauce has a slight edge, winning 26 states to canned cranberries' 24 states.
Mississippians are 22.3% more likely to buy canned cranberry sauce compared to the national average. Iowans are 70.6% more likely to buy fresh cranberries. Of note: The top four states for cranberry production — Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Oregon — are split on cranberry preferences, according to the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center.
Wisconsinites and Oregonians lean toward fresh berries. Massachusetts and New Jersey residents prefer canned cranberries.

Canned! I want my cranberry sauce the way the Pilgrims had it!
Odd that they like canned where they grow the berries.
Gotta be fresh with a little OJ, splash of brandy.
I find that the canned are much more difficult to string around the Christmas Tree...

Your order is reversed.
I prefer the canned jellied. I had fresh with orange zest in it and didn’t care for it at all.
I bake fresh cranberries in sugar, add orange marmalade, fresh lemon juice and chopped toasted walnuts. Yum!
Canned, no lumps. I can just eat a whole can. Well not so much anymore, aging gut isn’t into that level of acid.
Grew up on canned, but now I make fresh.
The Pilgrims never had to eat cranberry sauce, else they would have gone back to England.............
Delicious!
Fresh is easy to make. We like it either way. Whole berry please.
Exactly! and 2 lbs of sugar...
Having once worked a summer in an Ocean Spray cannery, my 2 cents is go with the fresh.
I prefer the juice form, with a shot of vodka.
WHOLE fruit canned is best. All that is necessary.
“Odd that they like canned where they grow the berries.”
I’ll be driving by cranberry bogs on the way to my brother’s on Thursday, haha
Thanks
