“Cranberry product” LOL
TheLadyEve t1_j6ni2xt wrote
I like making my own cranberry sauce and it's very easy, but there is something compelling about the canned stuff, too. It is made out of cranberries, too, it just has a completely different texture.
I also can my own cranberry relish every November/December, and that canned version is good, too!

I usually mix the "cranberry product" with fresh cranberries; 1:2 parts by volume, respectively.
Blitz berries, simmer/reduce everything in a pot for 10-15 min.
The tart cranberries balance really well with the insanely sweet "product."

Take the cranberry garbage off that plate and it looks amazing.

Canned cranberry sauce is delicious, and I won't hear any slander

I'm with you. Obviously real cranberry sauce beats it out but that can-shaped mass of vaguely cranberry flavored gel actually tastes good with turkey.
BigImportant7961 t1_j6lqwrx wrote
We will have to disagree. I personally think it should be outlawed nationwide
Draeton_ali t1_j6luyu5 wrote
I'm not sure I hate any food enough for it to be outlawed. Would cranberry juice be allowed? Otherwise, what happens to the people who earn a livelihood in the production of the jelly and cranberry related products? Or the farmers? And if you say they should just grow something else, who will pay them while they undergo that process?
BigImportant7961 t1_j6lv6wm wrote
Yes just none of that weird homogenized stuff. It’s like a red blobby from hotel Transylvania
Draeton_ali t1_j6lvy6a wrote
I also don't like canned cranberry sauce/jelly, but making your own is actually really great. So I do love cranberry sauce, but I also acknowledge it was a privilege to be able to afford fresh food over canned. But nowadays, I'd probably have to get the canned stuff lol.

That sounds unappetizing.

Fake cranberry byproduct IS unappetizing.
Make your own it takes like 30 minutes and no effort. Cranberries, a cup of sugar and a cup of water in a pot. Simmer and mash. Way better

The real stuff is delicious.
But... the canned stuff is also delicious.

It has a special place in my heart, along with green bean casserole.

Well that's just like, uh, your opinion.

You forgot “man”! All jokes aside it all looks great. I’m not trying to imply I wouldn’t eat it

The rest of it looks fantastic!

Run it through a mesh strainer before it’s gelatinous

"it only takes like 30 minutes" do you not see the 45 other things on the plate....?

Took me 30 minutes while making my spread. You know most cooktops have 4-6 burners right?
imk t1_j6li78q wrote
Anyway, you make cranberry sauce the night before.
Calm-Reference-4046 t1_j6mhgye wrote
Why can't be cranberry be the one thing she/he cheated on in making this?there's like 12 things on that plate and yall came here to whine about cranberry? Damn where's your home made turkey meal? Throw it up with 12 other things so I can whine about canned corn or something.

Splash of fresh squeezed OG makes it!

I add OJ and orange zest. Maybe a little apple.

Trying adding a crushed chipotle pepper sometime. Makes it a smoky, spicy, sweet and sour condiment that is amazing.
My mother makes terrible turkey. I have learned a few tricks over the years
bRightOnRebbit t1_j6mtv5g wrote
Love the idea of adding a chipotle. Unfortunately, I'm bound to forget it come next year.
suffaluffapussycat t1_j6lmo7t wrote
It’s a different thing. That’s how I’d make it now. When I was 9 I wanted that blob to ploop out of a can.
Charliekeet t1_j6nkx10 wrote
And yet there are SO many who champion the can-shaped weirdness. I don’t get it. I WILL eat the jelly stuff if that’s all there is cause I love cranberry, but I’d never choose it over the non-canned alternative!
