Homemade! Recipe is on the bag of fresh cranberries you get at the store. Easy. Takes 5 minutes prep and a few minutes to boil on the stovetop.

Lumpy homemade for sure. I also like the uncooked relish variety a lot. Ground up cranberries, apple, brown sugar, some nuts. orange rind and cinnamon.

T’was the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn’t sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned,
The dark meat and white.
But I fought the temptation,
With all of my might.
Tossing and turning,
with anticipation.
The thought of a snack
became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen,
Flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge,
Full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey,
And buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots,
Beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling,
So plump and so round.
‘til all of a sudden,
I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling,
Floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding,
And a handful of pie.
But I managed to yell
As I soared past the trees
Happy eating to all,
Pass the cranberries, please!!
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize
And May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs!
BOB

I prefer the good old jellied type right from the can with the can's striations still showing before it is sliced.

My sister-in-law makes an amazing homemade cranberry sauce with orange rind. Mmmmm. I appreciate the canned jelly for what it is and the lumpy homemade stuff mr SIL makes for what it is. It's literally all good! :-)

I like the lumpy, preferably home made. I guess, for me, it's better to chew, rather than slurp. The kids liked the jelly, which is also fun to eat and play with, so we usually had both.

A Lot More Than a Sauce or Jelly
Cranberries are so good for you - loaded with antioxidants.
This is a great Christmas gift to make - cranberry/pistachio white-chocolate bark.
The Fraser Valley has many cranberry farms.

Oh, FAN, you really should write a book, complete with lots of beautiful, illustrative photos.
I'd love the recipe for that cranberry-pistachio chocolate.

Hi Maggie! Thanks so much. A book about special events on a budget is on my bucket list. I have already started compiling it. Catering will be part of it. (I will send you a PM with my fb link).
The bark is easy to make. I melt some Belgian white chocolate in a double boiler, add dried cranberries, pistachios (or almonds), then spread on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Break into pieces when cool.
It is a nice present to make for friends and family. Despite the madness of Black Friday, I think home-made goodies mean more.

Yum! Thank you!
We are doing holiday nibbles for a post-Christmas wedding shower. These will be beautiful and perfect!
I agree about homemade goodies, which my extended family exchanges every year in lieu of boughten gifts.
We refuse at our house to participate in the Black Friday frenzies----unless it is a bit of online shopping.

A Christmas wedding-shower is fantastic.
You could have the guests sign an ornament (use metallic pen), or a tree skirt (with fabric pen) or a Christmas serving plate/tray (with china pen). The couple would then have a forever keepsake to use every Christmas.
Just a few ideas.....
....and sorry to hijack thread. I can't help myself.

Neat thread. Recipes, Great Pics, etc. I vote for the real cranberries in a bag. Follow the directions for stove cooking. They pop and then they are ready. Fresh and dee-licious.

Another way to enjoy cranberries
Cranberry Liqueur. (In the making)
4 cups chopped, fresh cranberries
3 cups sugar
2 cups gin
Zest of one lemon
Mix in gallon jar, seal and let stand 2 weeks. Strain and pour into clean bottles. Serve in ginger ale or seven-up, maybe champagne?
Have never made this before, if nothing else I am going to enjoy looking at it sitting on the counter for the next couple of weeks.
