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 just like they brought over on the Mayflower.
My grandfather used to tell me about being a Army cook during WW 2 and making Baked Turkeys for the guys on a airfield on Truk he said a couple of the of the canned Turkeys’ had dates that place them close to the first Thanksgiving
Canned, fresh is too strong.
Lol!
My grandfather worked in cranberry bogs so that he could be near my father while he was in amnesia camp after being run over by a bus twice. His big brother had made him retrieve a ball from under the bus. The driver went forward and then reversed to see what he’d run over.
Canned cranberry sauce is our tradition.
Canned,
Served in the original glorious shape of the can.
Neither for me, thanks. I don’t like cranberries in any form, not fresh, jellied, dried, or juiced.
Fresh is best. I put it through a food mill because I think the peelings are disgusting, much like remnant peelings in applesauce. But I am not above buying the jello-ish canned stuff because I eat it all year round with poultry.
Oh, yes!!!!
I just made some fresh c’berry sauce. I love it but the rest of my family likes the jellied stuff.
Yes, I like that.
I’ve never had either. lol
I picked up a vintage Ocean Spray collector’s edition cranberry sauce mold at a thrift store for 99¢.
I like a well-made Lingonberry tart from a quality bakery.
Boston, Medford, Winthrop here. Brown bread and B&M baked beans— every Saturday night.
Fresh: from mother-in-law. Family tradition, my contribution this Thanksgiving.
Fresh cranberries, fresh apple, fresh orange (rind included), sugar and lemon jello. Chop and add jello. Make day before. D E L I C I O U S !
I am no expert, but those definitely looks like pomegranate arils to me. I admit, I know next to nothing about cranberries, so you are likely right.
You made me LOL! Nice job!
Interesting.
