Personally I like homemade sauce. Does this make you a bad person? Heck no! We all have our secrets--I love poptarts

Funny, no I am "out" about my addiction. So what happened is that my Wife bought the wrong kind, the whole berry stuff, well I wasn't about to lower myself and eat that. I was in a "healthy" supermarket and bought a can of jellied, organic stuff at the last minute. Basically, it was "ok" but I felt as if I was settling. I am going to a regular grocery store today and my a few cans of the Ocean Spray today for my leftovers. I may buy a few extra just to keep on hand for emergencies.

Next thing you will see me on an episode of "Doomsday Preppers" you will know it's me because you will see my bunker filled with cans of jellied cranberry sauce, Ocean Spray!

Well I hope you all enjoyed your Ocean Spray cranberry sauce. We had turkey dinner out and they had that whole berry organic stuff. Yuck....I gave it to my Husband. I am cooking for Christmas and canned jellied Ocean Spray will be nicely sliced and on the table....


I had to share this....

We have both. My husband likes the jelly out of the can with the marks still on it. I make the whole berry kind following the directions on the bag of cranberries. I love the whole berry kind the next morning on toast.

I grew up with the canned stuff...I like it! My Mom would "plop" it onto a little glass dish, cut it in half (lengthwise), then slice it. Yummmmm...

Ocean Spray Jellied is the favorite hands down. I serve it vertically, holding its can shape. It is what it is. No sense trying to dress it up or camouflage it. I've tried all kinds of homemade recipes using fresh cranberries and don't like any of them. I do use canned whole berries for one recipe which is a cranberry glaze with onion soup mix for roasts. I buy several cans of the jellied stuff at this time of year when it's on sale and we eat it throughout the year.

Krogers sells a mini-can of jellied cranberry sauce. It's great, because I love to eat it year round but can't convince anyone else to eat it with me outside of Thanksgiving.

I love it, too! Much better than 'the real thing', in my opinion.

I like the Ocean Spray jellied too. That is what I was raised on. I eat it all year long with roasted chicken and it's the only way to go with turkey and dressing. I've never tried it on a sandwich ... guess I will have to give that a try.

My daughter-in-law makes the fancy stuff but I take my can of Ocean Spray Jellied with me. She thinks I am strange anyway ... carrying a can of Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce in my purse.

That is strange and rude.
