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.....

Where's the "Neither, all cranberry sauce is super gross and should never be consumed by humans" option? ... That's right, I went there. ;D

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

One pound bag fresh cranberries , one cup sugar and one cup champagne, mix and simmer until cranberries are soft remove from heat and let cool .

Best use of champagne!

Best use of cranberry sauce is in this recipe.  I've been making it for about 7 years running.

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.
