Real or Fake?

[It's A Happy Day]

Cranberry sauce you silly!

My family won't eat the canned stuffed but LOVE the homemade cranberry sauce. Maybe it's that canned mold that they're opposed to

How about you?

We eat both kinds. My ddil makes wonderful homemade sauce but we like the canned kind too.

I prefer mine to be in the shape of the can. My Grandma smushes the jellied up.. I dont like it that way. I want a SLICE, thank you very much!

canned, fake, and processed! Which is very strange, cause I eat about 80% organic. My mom makes homemade cranberry sauce that everyone loves. In fact, she makes about 6 batches of it, and people come to pick it up for their dinners, even though we aren't going there. Everyone loves it to death, but I will only eat the stuff in the can. The good news is that I get the whole can to myself, since no one else likes it!

Both. We always have some from the can (in the can shape so it can be sliced) and a homemade orange/cranberry relish.

Canned. I don't like either, but prefer that over real.

Real for me... Here's a quick hint for those who may try it for the first time. Clementine's are in season for the holidays. Should be out this week in the stores. When following the directions to cook, add the juice from once clementine and the orange zest.... What a great kick it adds.

I love the processed, fake cranberry sauce, and it must be in the can form! That's the most important part!! I love that canned look sitting in the bowl on the table. If someone slices it or mushes it up before I've had a chance to take mine, I'm out, none for me. I don't know what it is about that can shape but it makes it so much more delicious

Indeed!

neither....I don't like it.

 

[cruellababy]

I love the homemade; but I will serve the canned for the kids- they like the jelly.

 

[Lizzybear]

Either! We don't have it canned here, just in a jar, but I love the stuff that has orange in aswell

 

[mjkacmom]

I made real - it's really easy!

 

[Spinning]

Fake and in a can......best part of the the dinner, sandwhiches next day with a big slab of it on nice white processed bread! YUM!
I do also make the real stuff....don't eat it but it is so pretty on the table! Hubby and our friends like it!

I thought we were talking about something else and I voted REAL!

 

[Laura]

Real. I make mine with cranberries, orange juice and zest, cinnamon, maple syrup, an apple and a pear.

 

[mominwestlake]

I would love a REAL easy recipe!

 

[DawnM]

I would love homemade, but I won't actually make it, so I will eat canned. I DO NOT LIKE just the jelly though, I want the chunks in it.

This year we are going to someone else's house (friends), so I will most likely take some just to make sure it is on the table!

Real sauce is SUPER easy. I make it the day before and keep it in the fridge until we're ready to eat.

Get a pot and put in:
1 bag cranberries (12oz)
1 orange (not the whole thing, its juice and zest)
1 peeled and diced apple (1/2 inch pieces)
1 peeled and diced pear (1/2 inch pieces)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Put it over medium heat until it boils, put it on low and let it cook until properly gooey, about 20 minutes. It makes the kitchen smell great!

My dh keeps trying to talk me into fake, but I tell him real is better and healthier.
