Over the years, I've made a number of different cranberry sauces (I love cranberry anything) for the holidays, including many that start with fresh cranberries simmered with all kinds of spices, dried fruits and other ingredients. But year after year, this is the one that everyone wants and asks for - and to call it a "recipe" is almost a laugh! This Thanksgiving, yet again, it was completely gone by meal's end.

MOTHER OF GOD, Kevin!! My heart stopped dead when you held the can in one hand and used the other to stab it with the tip of a chef's knife. Do not try this at home, kids.
Other than that hair-raising moment...the cranberry sauce is unique and looks delicious. I opened a can of whole-berry the day after Thanksgiving and all but about a tablespoon of it is still in the refrigerator. I'm pretty sure there's a small can of mandarin oranges and one of pears in the pantry, so I've gotta make a small batch as a taste test. Will definitely keep this one on file for the Christmas turkey. | ||

 I am probably too safety paranoid...but I'd worry about stabbing a can even if were sitting on the counter. I'd half imagine the knife slipping and stabbing me, or something. Plus I can't imagine it's good for the tip of the blade. (Although, of course, one might well have cheap knives that don't matter much.)
The really scary knife incident I recall was the time my grandmother tried to open a can using a knife (and, IIRC, hammer)... Fortunately she was caught and stopped before she could hurt herself. (At the time, she was nearly at the end of her life--and at a point where she was no longer able to live alone.)

 I'm pretty simple when it comes to my cranberries. I use a bag of fresh cranberries, sugar and water. That is it. Plain, simple and delicious.
I've tried the relish before and I don't like how it tastes with the orange in it.
I do love cranberries and most cranberry flavored stuff. They currently have a Cranberry Sprite out that is pretty good. Budwiser used to have a Cran-Brr-Rita(Cranberry flavored margarita). They also have other flavors of that. But the Cranberry one is really difficult to find. I'm not even sure if they still make it. | ||

My mom made a cranberry-orange relish for several years; my sister has the recipe, and made it for Thanksgiving. As long as I can remember, mom always made a cranberry Jell-O salad. It also had celery and walnuts in it. I've made it a time or two, but not recently. She usually used the hand crank Universal meat grinder for the cranberrys. | ||
