    I made cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving yesterday. It was a bag of cranberries, sugar and water.

    That’s it. You boil it and stir.

    Tip: If you have trouble getting the cranberry sauce out of the can ala can-form, use a knife you don’t care too much about and strike the bottom of the can with the heel of the blade a couple times to create air holes. Do this before you remove the top of the can.

    It should help the sauce slide right out, and can be applied to anything with that type of viscosity found in a can.

    I’ve never understood homemade cranberry sauce… without the can lines, how do you know where to cut it?!? 🤔 one of life’s great mysteries

    I once made cranberry jelly from scratch and then poured it into an empty can. Whatever recipe I used caused it to firm up pretty well, so it had all the ridges and everything.

    I’ve made cranberry orange…stuff (not jam or jelly, I forget the specific term) and while I love it, there’s just something about a can of cranberry log.

      Chutney maybe? I’ve had that and it’s good, but I’m with ya, if there’s cranberry log I’m definitely eating it.

          Jam, preserves, compote. Something like that. It’s jelly if it’s all one consistency and American. Brits call Jello jelly, that’s why the confusion exists for why Americans eat PBJ.

            Wasn’t jelly, because it had the crushed cranberries in there, and it wasn’t just the liquid which is what I remember jelly to be. It was probably jam and I just forgot again.
