Our turkey is always typical oven roasted.

The question I have is WHY people buy the stuff in the cans called ‘cranberry sauce’?
It’s horrible.
The real stuff from scratch is SO easy and SO delicious:
Wash cranberries with cold water. Pick out the ‘bad’ ones.
Have boiling 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar.
Add cranberries to water/sugar mixture
Boil gently 10 minutes
Let cool and refrigerate
Delicious! Absolutely no comparison to the canned glob.

for some reason my family insists on the Ocean Spray cranberry jelly... i have tried and my sister has tried, and my niece-in-law has tried to introduce made-from-scratch cranberry sauce to no avail...

From my childhood...wash cranberries and quarter 2 oranges...using the old fashion hand crank chopper, put cranberries and oranges (with peeling) through the fine setting add sugar and refrigerate... add about 1/2 cup orange juice before putting on the table mix and serve..
I think out of the 20 people or so, that come to my house on Thanksgiving, only one person eats it. Yet every year I have to buy it. There is just something about the look of it (with the can imprints) that screams Thanksgiving to me.
Over the years we have had other, better cranberry sauces, yet I still need to have the can.
