“”will stick with the nice smoothness of the jelled version.””
For sure!! I remember my mother always making the “real” thing - using the food chopper (?) and making the cranberries pop was the best part of the preparation...but I never wanted to eat it - mixed with orange peel (?) etc.
It’s been so many years, I don’t even remember what those things were called - attached to the kitchen table by turning a handle to fasten it down???? Universal food chopper..according to google...
