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.

You can’t get the cab ring impressions in fresh. They add flavor.
Actually the real controversy is smooth or chunky.
I wonder....
Never could stand the stuff and I grew up in cranberry land. Used to ice skate on a cranberry bog. They flood them for the winter. All I’ve ever had was the canned stuff though.
I believe the rings are a serving suggestion ;)
I do the same but without the walnuts.
Neither are sauce, one is relish the other is jelly.
I freakin hate cranberry sauce. But do like eating dried cranberries out of the container, or mixing bag into the oatmeal. Just keep that sh-t away from my turkey or ham
Fresh
A tangy sweet cranberry salad: cooked cranberries, crushed
pineapple,mini Mallows, whipped cream.....sugar to taste.
Regardless, I will put either on a turkey sangwich with stuffing and gravy
I prefer the canned Ocean spray whole berry cranberry sauce.
I had Lingonberry from Sweden once, and that’s good, too. Maybe not quite as tart, if I recall.
chocolate coved crasins are amazing and on sale after the holidays.
oatmeal crasin walnut cookies
YOM!!
forget the marshmallows...
I think its the same thing
You can now take Thanksgiving dinner on a fishing trip!
i actually dont want to know. All I do is eat..
I grew up on both canned or fresh depending on how poor we were that particular year. I guess canned was cheaper, but truthfully, I’m assuming that. I just know we had one or the other at various times.
These days I prefer mine from fresh.
This year I’m attempting the fermented kind but I don’t think it will be ready before I leave for my trip, so it will have to wait until I get back from the holiday to try it.
I hope I didn’t mess it up. The raw honey was sort of expensive.
