Cranberry? Juiced, with vodka please.

I know a guy that worked for Heinz pickles. OMG!!

That’s OK for college girls.

[gitmo]

Try hand-cranked cranberry ice cream.

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

They like a splash of OJ as well.

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.

Canned Jelly, please.

[corkoman]

Both!

“the juice form, with a shot of vodka.”

Ah, yes, the Cape Codder.

[blackdog]

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.

Yeah, canned - the ribbed part is the best.

[LibertyWoman]

The anti-canners v/s the pro-canners!

[Karma_Sherab]

Neither...they both suck donkey balls

[mylife]

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.

[Romulus]

Vitamins.
