Thanksgiving meal.
OK IMO I love it but I also love the homemade sauce too. We have both. Barbara now makes it with monk fruit or Agave & it still tastes good.
So i first passed this on to some of my boating friends & I found out like myself they also loved that can sauce.
What do you all think?

We all like what we like. I ate canned cranberry sauce for years until I met my wife, she uses fresh cranberries. No going back for me. No comparison IMO.

Had canned all my life.
Heck I thought it grew like that, now I find out it does not? Dang, so next you will tell me the Easter Bunny is not real :(

These people that look down their noses on other folk because WE LOVE our canned SPLORK ( cranberry sauce) are a bunch of horse's @$$es.
Yep...that is pretty much how a I feel. Now, ...will you please pass the canned cranberry sauce?..... 8)

Cranberry sauce? Who eats cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is for TURKEY, DRESSING, & GRAVY (unless you're Tommy). I must admit though that SWMBO's daughter makes a killer cranberry relish with serrano chilies and some other stuff. I might have a little bit along with my TURKEY, DRESSING, & GRAVY but tend to save most of it for breakfast the next morning.

I like the canned sauce on sandwiches. I do, however, like my homemade cranberry sauce with Grand Marnier and tequila. Tasty!!

Not to start a fight over this issue, but anything canned vs fresh made is a no brainer. We have always used fresh cranberries and there is no comparison to canned. It just takes more time to make vs opening a can. You need to try it with a good recipe.
-
Funny but I love both. I will have both tomorrow lol
-
I'm in the "Love Both" category. I made my fresh cranberry sauce this past weekend. I usually add a good splash of Grand Marnier but had none this time so I used some Cointreau.
I have a nephew who when he was a kid he would eat a whole can of cranberry sauce by himself. Lol..... I joke with him occasionally about this and a few years back when he came over for Thanksgiving and gave him a whole can to eat for himself. He still loves it! I do love sliced canned cranberry on a sandwich.

We don't put the booze into it but that sounds good. The homemade has a kick & the canned is sweeter that is why I like both . did it again yesterday. We also put some in our stuffing

In the next day I will post my recipe for homemade cranberry sauce for you to try. The alcohol isn't discernible as it cooks out with the heat of the sugar and cranberries.
I forgot to mention that when I made ours(I did two pounds of berries)I made a separate pint jar with a sweet/heat of diced jalapenos. About 8 or 10 years ago I was into growing peppers and making homemade pepper sauces and relishes and decided to make a spicy cranberry sauce. Pretty darn good! My favorite was a blood orange and habanero hot sauce. That was some great hot sauce!!!!! Sort of got away from growing peppers and my blood orange tree died from a freeze we had a few years ago. Sad day when I had to cut it down.

So they're saying the canned isn't real? Just what we need, more laboratory food. What's next canned turkey vs. the "real" thing?

What's next canned turkey vs. the "real" thing?
Already available. It's called "tofurkey" and will decompose in a landfill in only 237 years.

I think what they mean is texture & the sweet taste. They have tried it both ways.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries in any form, but V loves the canned sauce. we always have a few cans of it in the pantry. She will eat it right out of the can.
My Mama always made cranberry salad fresh, but I haven't had it that way since her passing many years ago. :(

Like V I like it out of the can too. Also, like apple sauce we like it on other foods.....like chicken & Lamb

I read this entire thread with interest because I cannot handle Splork but do like cranberry relish. The friend who usually provides this for our table was absent this year so between the wife and I we created a substitute with real cranberries, an orange, and a little sugar -- no recipe. It was better than Splork but still had serious taste and texture issues.
Anybody got a good, easy, minimal ingredients recipe OR a way to make Splork edibile?

Here's what I use......
Cranberry Rellish/Sauce
1 lb Fresh cranberries
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Orange juice
Peel of 1 orange
1 Cup walnuts or pecans(preferably toasted)
5 Tbsp. Orange or Apricot Liquor (I prefer to use a good quality liquor for this like Grand Marnier or Cointreau for orange flavor).
Using a deep pot, cook cranberries for 10 minutes on medium high. Watch carefully! If needed add 1/4 cup of plain water to get them cooking and popping open.
Add the peel of the one orange, the pecans or walnuts and the liquor. When adding the liquor it with splash due to the alcohol content so step back. Let this all simmer about 3 minutes then remove from heat and pour into prepared canning jars or other glass container.

... a way to make Splork edibile...
Always correct answer (not unlike "Bacon makes everything better"): Drown it in gravy.
-
I LOVE Spork. But then again.....I rarely meet food that I cannot find reason to love.... :D I also really appreciate the cranberry relishes with citrus zest and such. The Mrs. usually makes some so she does not have to eat my Oceanspray gourmet canned cranberry sauce..... :D

Cranberry Relish is popular here. I grew up in New England so I have heard of it but We have always had traditional NE style. Plain I guess.
But my Grandma always put whiskey in our fruit cup as kids....with sherbet......You got to get your kick from somewhere lol

Okay, for the best of both worlds, just take some fresh cranberries and equal amount of high fructose corn syrup and bring to a boil. Once cooked place in blender and blend until smooth. Would you do that?
Now everyone that tries to avoid high fructose corn syrup look at your canned sauce and tell me what the main ingredients is. (besides cranberries)

Make your own heart disease and diabetes without leaving the house. Please, try home made with sugar substitutes and leave the processed canned foods behind. Get used to the naturally tart, make it as sweet as you like using monk fruit or stevia.
