My grandma always had the jellied cranberry from a can. I don't like it but everyone else did. The first year I did thanksgiving dinner I made home made cranberry sauce. It had chopped walnuts and chopped apple in it. My brother asked what it was and I told him cranberry sauce. Then he asked me why there were berries in it and why it was liquidy instead of like Jell-O. He actually thought I tried to make that jellied stuff and messed it up! Everyone ate some but only a tiny little bit. Like pity eating, when you know something's bad but you don't want to hurt someone's feelings. My family can be such rubes about some things. So now it's canned cranberry in a dish. They like that they can slice it. Sigh.....
