1. seriously??

if it ain't homemade, don't bother

[Floyd R. Turbo]

2. Your aint wrong! 😋

[pandr32]

39. Nuf said!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I like the stuff that comes in a can -

not so much because it tastes better (it doesn't), but because when you turn over the can the stuff lands in the dish with a satisfying *splort* and it's imprinted with the seams from the can. It's just a fun childhood memory.

[Moostache]

5. Splort? LOL....thank you for the wonderful description!!!

That made my day less depressing and made me laugh!!! Gratitude sent!

[Freddie]

57. Yes!!

I don’t like any kind of cranberry sauce but it’s obligingly on the Thanksgiving table. The only one who likes it is my brother and he’s fine with the “splooch” variety. Cleaning up after the meal, the rest of the .99/can Giant brand stuff goes down the disposal.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. Cool! 👍🏻

[Squinch]

8. Yes! That's the only thing I like about it. My sister insists that we have the canned stuff, and

I only agree if I can make a homemade version too, and if I can open the can.

[wryter2000]

9. Same here

Love those ridges.

[RhodeIslandOne]

45. Could not have said it better! n/m

[Dr Hobbitstein]

4. Jellied...

There's a texture about whole cranberries that I find off putting, but I love me some sliced, can-shaped cranberry jelly.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

7. Nice! 😋

[sl8]

10. Sauce, from a can, with a big ol' glass of milk! n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. 😋

[pnwest]

11. You're all wrong - ( or all right?) START with the splort stuff

mash it up and add diced craisins, walnuts, and mandarin oranges.
BOOM!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

13. Wow! My life just changed for the better!

[pnwest]

23. LOL! SO easy, and hella fancy-lookin'! (and delish to boot)

[shanny]

14. Homemade of course

but I make mine with an addition of dried blueberries...i.e. not a purist.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

16. Sweet! 😋

[doc03]

15. The jellied stuff

18. FRESH cranberry orange relish

%3Fitok%3DoMuxb0zQ&w=700&q=85


1 lemon
1 orange
1 bag fresh cranberries
handful pom seeds
sugar to taste

cut up the lemon and orange and put them through the food processor, and then the bag of cranberries. add sugar to taste. best if allowed to sit overnight, chilled, to meld flavours.

after t-day, run the relish through the food processor with a brick of cream cheese, for a great spread for your turkey sandwiches.

optional adds: pomegranate arils, jalepeno, nuts.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. Yum, yum, yum! 😋

[Yonnie3]

51. This was a Thanksgiving tradition when we were young.

We made it in a hand cranked grinder. It was messy and we loved doing it. No pom seeds in our recipe.

We had a large glass condiment plate with compartments that had the relish, the canned jelly, home made whole berry, tiny gherkins, black olives and green olives.

I like all variants of the sauce, fresh or canned, but it has to be good quality.

ETA: I forgot the cocktail onions that were on the plate as well.

[niyad]

52. I remember those plates fondly--especially when filled!!

I just finished seeding a dozen poms--messy, but sooooo much fun!!

[Yonnie3]

53. There was a second plate with different compartments.

It had raw veggies and home made dips.

I wonder what became of those dishes. I have the one for deviled eggs. It really is time to go through those last boxes from the estate.

[niyad]

54. treasure them if you still have them!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. Oh man! 😋

[Kali]

22. as a cocktail

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. Ah ha! My wifes favorite!

[MontanaMama]

38. Ooh!

Recipe? That looks lovely!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

49. Cheers!

1 cup vodka
1/2 cup triple sec
1/4 cup cranberry juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice


Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and pour through a strainer into four martini glasses.

[MontanaMama]

50. Thanks FRT.

Cheers to you!

[jpak]

24. Homemade Cranberry-Orange Relish

yum

[Lochloosa]

25. Canned. The next day on my turkey sandwich.

[WhiteTara]

26. You left off chutney!

A well laid table has all three in my opinion!

[DinahMoeHum]

35. Yep, homemade cranberry apple chutney for me. . .

. . .with chopped candied orange peel, onions, and a touch of almond extract.

[WhiteTara]

43. Yum!

I'm hungry now!

[Akoto]

27. I don't eat them at all, but the rest of the family loves the jellied kind. n/t

[Different Drummer]

28. Jellied for me.

I don't care for the whole berry stuff and have never had homemade.

[Polly Hennessey]

29. Canned or homemade

love it all.

[csziggy]

30. Homemade whole berry! Nothing else is any good

Actually I don't even like cranberry sauce - this is my husband's vote.

[pbmus]

31. I just got my testing spoonful of homemade...

To die for....nothing else even comes close...

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

32. I grew up with the canned version, so I'm used to it.

I no longer care for the taste of the canned stuff.

The only time I had a homemade version it was awful, but that was probably more a reflection of the particular recipe and the person who made it.

[gopiscrap]

33. whole jellied

I love how you can push it out of a can and it keeps it's form

[cloudbase]

36. Both.

Throth?

[Turbineguy]

42. But the jellied stuff

is best because it can come out on the serving dish, shaped just like the can.

[guillaumeb]

37. I made some yesterday.

Fresh berries, apples, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar.

[MontanaMama]

40. Fresh.

Chopped cranberries, lime juice, lime zest, diced jalapeno and a little sugar to taste. The BOMB I tell ya.

[Wounded Bear]

41. Cranberries? Ugh!

Sorry, never could abide them and never understood their popularity.

[Tikki]

44. Jellied....

a little goes a long way, that way.

Tikki

[Doreen]

46. HOMEMADE WHOLE BERRY!!!!

I mean, why in the hell does this even need to be a question?

[Dulcinea]

47. Whole berry all the way!

But I have to buy the canned stuff b/c my husband doesn't like real cranberries.

[GallopingGhost]

48. Homemade, but

Cucina Antica brand is the best I've ever had, store bought. Comes in a glass jar with a brown paper label. It's spendy, but you can taste the cloves and orange peel and nutmeg. It's excellent.

[left-of-center2012]

55. Whole berry

But, why not post a poll,
instead of just the question?

[trixie2]

56. Homemade!

Duh!

[woodsprite]

58. I had the jellied for my SIL, but made Cranberry sauce w/ apricot brandy for the rest. n/t

[kimbutgar]

59. Homemade
