...yields were down in Massachusetts...

Lemme guess: "Uncle Teddy" crashed his yacht into the cranberry bogs, eh?

I just cooked everything I bought....

I am the only one in the family who likes the fresh ones. Everyone else likes the jellied from a can.

Listen to the cranberry growers, buy more. They know you won't but them in January.

Not to worry in our household...wife went out and bought a couple more cans...before checking in the cupboard..where there was already 4 cans....anybody that runs out...holler!!

Try boiling them with sugar and pineapple. Not the same, I know, but more acceptable.

I think this is an attempt by "Big Cranberry" to drive up prices by Christmas.

That's exactly what I thought when I read this. There'll be cranberries on the shelves in February, and the price will be down. What we need is an excess profits tax on cranberries, before this gets out of hand.

Oh great! Now they're gonna hit us in the sauce with cranberry price-gouging. Probably making windFALL profits.

No kidding, mine too.

Personally I can't stand cranberry sauce - but the hubby and the child love it, so I said I would make fresh cranberry/orange relish tomorrow...........I've got all the ingredients - but can't find the danged recipe :(

Go to the Food Network or Recipes.com

[Gabz]

I've got recipes.com openning as I post :) But since I haven't made it in years, I doubt I have it in my recipe box there or at Epicurious.

Thanks.

I never have had fresh cranberries. My mother never put anything on my plate that I could use as an artillery barrage against my sister(no peas and definitely no brussel sprouts). My wife has continued that practice.

I'm with you on that... all my turkey needs is gravy... lots of gravy!

A friend of mine had a urinary track infection. To get rid of it she ate a can of cranberry sauce. The next day she was better and did not have to go to the doctor. Those cranberries are pretty amazing.

[proudofthesouth]

Cranberry Juice works just as well.
Good luck with your recipe.
