The trouble there, of course, is that there are probably as many different ways to make a cranberry sauce as there are cooks who make it. And then there are cranberry "relishes," which I prefer, which often have other chopped fruits in addition to the cranberries (e.g., oranges, apples), and then there is what Paul calls a "chutney."

Same deal. Lots of different ways to make pumpkin pie. First there are different varieties of pumpkin, some sweet, some not so sweet. And the recipes can call for varying amounts of different spices. My mother used very little spice, so her pies were a bright orange in color. Other recipes use lots of spices, so the pie is a dark brown.

Hiya BetterMost friends!
My thanksgiving.......I slept in, prepared my Pull Apart Pizza Bread, while it cooked I cleaned the apartment. I swept, scrubbed, vacuumed, washed.....did everything but mop.
Had a great meal with the family. Grin It was a mix of traditional (turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, yams, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole) and Italian (ravioli, meatballs, sausage, pizza bread) and the desserts (pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, assortment of cheesecakes, cookies, pecan pie).
;D
stuffed!!
Now I'm home for the evening.

I have to say, not a fan of cranberries, so I usually don't eat it. As for pumpkin pie, I will eat it, but it's not a favorite of mine.

Cranberries I like, but I didn't much care for pumpkin pie either until I tasted one with a lot more spice in it than my mother ordinarily used. :-\ But it still isn't my favorite.
