but there were some years we had the canned. I never told her I preferred the canned. I don’t know why—maybe it’s a texture thing. Homemade cranberry sauce, no matter how tasty, always has more of a relish/chutney texture which seems unnecessary when there is so much other stuff going on in the meal. Just give me a little spoonful of cranberry gel next to the turkey and dressing and I’m good.
