I think the poll indicates what I feel is the proper side dish for Thanksgiving!  :laugh:

Agreed.  While I am willing to concede that there might be good homemade cranberry sauce in the world, I also have to say that I have not yet tasted any.

My mom goes heavy  on the cranberries giving it a somewhat tart taste. I will eat either one but my mom's is better.

I had a knock down drag out fight over cranberries one Thanksgiving back in the old days. It is a tough subject for me, so maybe I need a trigger warning on the cranberry posts.

I am from Wisconsin and they would have piles of the stuff in the stores. Even now sometimes our relatives will mail us a box full of them for a Christmas present. On the other hand, sometimes we will ship them a big box of Oranges.

As a hideously lazy cook, if it comes in a packet/can/jar/box, i'm there :)

I will however then try to enhance by adding more to customize/tune.

Honey in place of sugar and use orange juice.  Maybe I'll have to give the champagne a try if I'm cooking this year. 

The Ocean Spray whole berry canned type is ok for most other days.

Either way my wife will still make me get a can of the jellied blob type.  Edible, but why?

To be truthful, I've never had home made cranberry sauce.  It sound nicer though, so I would like to try it.  Some of the recipes sound good.

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.....

Lol, I don't like cranberries especially myself. I only deal with cranberry during the holidays because the rest of my family likes it. Just like I make pea salad for my dad because he likes peas even though they are totally gross and nasty. I'm nice that way. Lol

I've seen them before, they are popular enough. For me though I will have nothing but blueberry when it comes to fruit on cheesecake. (Seriously, everyone of you who gets strawberry cheesecake over like a brownie or oreo cheesecake is nuts! Don't ruin a good dessert with healthy stuff! ;D)

Yeah, since I don't like cranberries by themselves I wouldn't risk putting them in cheese cake. I have made a pumpkin cheesecake and an eggnog cheese cake. They were both really good.

The best way to use cranberry's is to make a chocolate cheesecake and use the can of cranberry's as a door stop.

That is an insult to good door stops everywhere. ;D

Real cranberry sauce also makes a great condiment with the left over turkey and some brie in a grilled sour dough sandwich

Dev! If you let me be,
I will try them, you will see.
Say! I like cranberries in can.
Easy carry, without a pan.
Now November's on my mind.
There's one more can I'd like to find.
I do like them, Walmart brand.
A price rollback now ain't that grand.
I like cranberries in the can.
Thank you! Thank you, Devlyn fan.

Definitely the home made stuff from the ocean spray berries in the bag. Throw a bit of grated orange and orange juice in there and keep it just a smidgeon on the tart side.

(the canned stuff is fine though too)
