      Cranberry sauce is traditional here with christmas meals and stuff, but that canned stuff just looks obscene. Ours tends to be home made or come in glass jars, and it has a jam like consistency.

        Some people make homemade or mix it up but having the red cylinder of holiday spirit it pretty much tradiition at this point. Even if you don’t want to eat it it needs to be there as decoration.

        I need a silicon one I can just leave out on the coffee table all fall and winter like the fake fruit some people have.

        I really really hate the canned stuff, and so growing up I thought I just hated cranberry sauce. Then I tried some of the jam-like stuff and was hooked. It’s so much better, imo.

        Not knocking anyone’s traditions here, though! Definitely do what you enjoy. It just won’t be a tradition for my family, personally haha.

        The canned stuff is amazing despite it’s looks. There’s a reason it’s managed to stay popular over here for so long. It’s like a cranberry flavored combination of Sorbe and Jello.

          What’s ‘sorbe’? I looked it up and was getting a jacket brand and sorbet in my results.

              Ah, I was wondering if it was a brand nane like ‘Jello’ or something.
              So canned cranberry sauce is slightly granular? Or is the sorbet comparison just taste-wise? Kinda want to try this now tbh, I’m getting curious.

                Nope not a brand name just my dumbass not spellchecking.

                But yeah, it’s a little grainy and they melt in your mouth the way sorbet’s ice crystals do.
