How wonderful it all turned out to be for both of us.. What is really funny, is both of our cranberries were a bit liquidly.. I think it had to do with the amount of moisture in the berries themselves.. I believe the company that shipped them kept them in water for a long time to give them additional weight, and an artificial plumpness..

Thats my story, and if you want to use it you may.. Thanks for the up date.. some time this morning I will post my Christmas Cookie thread.. It never rests at FR, so I will see you soon.. Merry Christmas.. :)

Hey, Carlo, I'm up in that toddlin' town, yours and my home town, for Thanksgiving and I'm freezing my pudgies off. Will be heading to sunny Florida soon, thank heavens.

I had the same experience. I cooked up two packages of Ocean Spray fresh cranberries, and the amount of liquid was incredible and intolerable. I strained them and got the excess liquid out, but the amount of cranberries left for our dinner for 9 was not enough.

I had to run out for two more packages at a jammed store just when I was most busy.

Same thing with the two new packages. Had to strain them also.

They tasted fine, but it was a pain in the neck. I suspect there's a little fraudulent plumpin' goin' on out der.
