Canned or fresh: The great cranberry sauce debate
axios ^

Posted on 11/22/2021 1:07:08 PM PST by mylife

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.

We usually have some of each type canned jelled and fresh with whole berries. I like both.

You should be able to strain the solids out after you cook the fresh berries, and then cook more. Pour it into a nice little mold.

I find the canned version repulsive, and have since childhood. Maybe it was because my child brain could not recognize a jiggly can of gelatin as anything that could be termed a sauce. Maybe if one melted it down and added some real cranberries and orange zest and brandy it could be considered a shortcut to something approximating cranberry sauce. The can of jiggly stuff simply seems unprepared, like dumping a cold can of green beans or gravy into a bowl.

I put one bag of cranberries, one cup of sugar, and one orange peel in the food processor/ Cuisinart. Puree until chunky smooth. Refrigerate for 24 hours fo maceration.

My family loves the canned cranberry sauce. One year I decided to impress them with fresh cranberry sauce from the super-expensive yuppie grocery store. They hated it.

They could not slice it up into perfect circles like you can do with canned cranberry sauce.

Same goes with brown bread. They clamor for brown bread in the can. You open both ends, push it out and slice it up.
