And here's my secret - I prefer the cylindrical jellied cranberry sauce to real homemade cranberry sauce.
My mom used to use this. And she'd plunk it in a bowl whole, so you could still see the can seam imprinted on the side!
I have made this really good sauce with cranberries, orange juice and zest, and granny smith apples. You mix them together, maybe with some sugar, and bake until they thicken to a gel-like consistency.
If anybody wants the recipe, let me know!
