I love Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce...it's what I grew up with. I especially appreciate the "cutting guides" provided by the ridges inside the can, lol!
Our daughter-in-law always makes a dish with fresh cranberries, oranges and pecans. But I have to have the Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce out of the can. You open the can and it's stuck you have to punch a hold in the bottom to release and then it just slides right out of there. That just makes my Thanksgiving meal.
I agree! I love this stuff.
I've tried making my own. I prefer the jellied canned.
I have used orange pieces to flavor the cranberry sauce, but this year I chopped a peeled grapefruit into the pan. It too more sugar, but came out very tasty. It was good on both ham and turkey. I don't use the canned stuff any more.
It's rather a misnomer to call the canned product in question "jellied cranberry sauce" since it bears no resemblance to "sauce." It's a jiggly brick that has to be sliced. First and foremost, it's rather odd that something supposedly made of fruit has no fiber whatsoever. In fact, it's hard to tell what's in it except a whopping amount of sugar, given one serving has 21 grams. Other than carbs, the jelly contains zero protein, zero fat, zero vitamins, zero calcium, and zero iron. It has about the same nutritional make-up as candy corn.
But, hey, if you folks like it, rock on. I know my mother likes the canned product. She likes a lot of Jello-type dishes that were popular in the fifties and I was out of her house before I ever tasted any fresh vegetables. She was pro-canned everything.
It doesn't go very well on turkey or ham sandwiches, though, which the tart cranberry sauce I make with whole berries, orange, and minimal sugar certainly does.
I realize we beat this subject to death in 2013 ... but yesterday I had my turkey and dressing and my delicious Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry sauce all to myself. None of my family members eat this heavenly concoction but I love it!! It just ain't Thanksgiving without my jellied cranberry sauce.
How many people had jellied cranberry sauce with their Thanksgiving dinner?
LOL We beat the heck our of this in 2013, 12, 11 10, 9... You get the picture.
Don't tell anyone, but I really like Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce. That's what mom served when I was a kid. I lived in NJ for years and they grow quite a few cranberries. I've made my own many times, but I still like the jellied sauce.
