Cranberry Sauce?

I never really cared for t until my sister in law came into the family. She makes an awesome one.

I usually make a homemade, but I like any type.

We open a full can (Jellied sauce) for our youngest (42 yo) son. He will eat the entire can. The rest of us share a can and then we open a third can for leftovers Thanksgiving night.


It is a big deal at our house (cranberry sauce on the dressing or sandwich).


Probably many of you do not remember when they were doing air burst nuclear weapon testing (back whenever) on the pacific islands and in the Nevada desert. They discovered a kick up in the levels of Strontium 90 in the air, water, soil and milk. There were 2 or three years when lots of people didn't eat cranberry sauce because they detected abnormal levels of Strontium 90 in the product. For those several years, Mom made a cherry and strawberry jello mixture that she substituted for our cranberry sauce at home. I just did without those years and was happy once again when they said the levels had dropped back down to acceptable levels.


2-3 years without cranberry sauce - A truly sad historical fact. Probably in Eisenhower Administration, although I could be wrong.

I will eat both canned or homemade. No one else in my family eats it but me. I love it with my meal, but as others said, on a sandwich the next day is money.

I like it but I won't eat too much of it. I like to take some with a fork full of Turkey and dressing.

Not a big fan. When I do eat a little it's fresh whole berry stuff.

I'd eat a little like a few have said....but I wouldn't eat it religiously.

Several years ago I added sweet jalapeno relish to the homade cranberry sauce I make and it was awesome! Well, to me and probably anyone else that likes jalapenos but it was spicy delicious.
