Ok I read a story that said Canned Cranberry sauce is the worst part of the

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.

The Turkey Terrific Sandwich created on Nantucket says the canned is the only way to make it. They say that the real ruins it!   Go Figure

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?

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.... 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.....

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.
