I bought a huge bag at Costco with no real plans for them. My mom used to
make a really good cranberry bread that used raw ones but it also had egg so
not for me. And most of the recipes I found online for bread/muffins called
for things I didn't have, like orange juice, and they called for dried
cranberries. I did wing a vegan, gluten free muffin recipe. Weird thing is,
they didn't have much flavor when freshly baked, but the following day they
were wonderful!

Other things I have done with them are sauce (do not care for any home made
sauce and I've tried many recipes, Jell-O salad. Good but I'm the only one
who likes it. Wild rice with pecans and cranberries.

That's about all I can think of. In the meantime, the berries are in the
freezer. What am I missing here?

Cranberry sauce requires a lot of sugar, a huge bag of berries may
need five pounds... not at all healthful... it'll sit in your fridge
for a week and then end up in the trash. For years I prepared
cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, no one wanted any, even canned was a
waste.
Thread them for your Christmas tree decoration... if you have no tree
put them out for the birds.

Wow!!! You must've been really ****ing them up then!

We buy cranberries in the small bags at my local REAL grocery store. Not one of those MalWart Knockoffs that is ****ing up the world's economy! And the recipe's right on the bag!

Get a life with Walmart and your cheap Chinese nonsense. There's
only *ONE* American that I know of that handed a Chinese person
approx. $112K in one lump sum. Talk about supporting the chinese.
lol

And the recipe's right on the bag!

Have you ever actually used that recipe, John?
- 12 oz cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Boil until they burst.
It makes the most sickenly sweet mess that I've ever tasted.

$108,000, cash for what is now MY HOUSE!! 100$, NO EVIL BANK CLAWS in it! Which I SHARE with others!! I put a little shot of Chambord in too for part of the water, and the cranberries are QUITE TART so require all that sugar to balance the sweet/tart flavor balance.

Beats the hell out of that canned crap!

I can't feed the animals here. Attracts too many rats. I do buy a can of
sauce when it's cheap. Mostly we just take a bite. I know most of it will go
to waste but that's okay.

them.

Why do you buy things if you have absolutely no idea what to do with the
item or know no one really wants to eat it?

A brain??? Why on earth did you buy them? You are a brute for punishment and
never know when or why or how to cook such "exotic" foods.

I don't like cranberry sauce and neither does anyone else I know... I
think cranberry juice sucks too... and craisins are worse.

It's odd, to say the least. Most people wouldn't buy a "huge bag" (her
words) of cranberries without first having some purpose in mind. At
least this time she put the berries in the freezer. She won't have to
throw them away as quickly.

Obviously you've been making it wrong, with far too much sugar.
Everybody I know loves it.

I make cranberry sauce sharp and tart; the main taste is cranberry..
So I don't use much sugar. Start with a little; when the berries have
popped stir in freshly squeezed orange juice and taste to see if it
needs any more sugar.

I love cranberry sauce. I can't imagine a turkey dinner without it.
Turkey sandwiches have to have it. I also like it on chicken and capon.
And I meal a simple home made cranberry sauce, not that crap in a can.

use less than half the sugar in typical recipes, orange zest, and orange
juice - nothing else needed - my kid called it "sour and bland" but what
do kids know?

It's a condiment for turkey! A bit of turkey and a bit of cranberry
sauce. I can't imagine eating a bowl of it. It is a hundred times
better than that crap in a can. I'm thrilled that I finally started
making from fresh about ten years ago. Of course, YMMV.

Hey, I love the canned cranberry sauce and not the stuff with the whole
berries in it! My youngest sister-in-law makes the homemade stuff with
the bag of berries. Blech. If she'd just buy a can we'd all eat it and
then she wouldn't waste her money and time to then throw it out.

I love cranberry juice and Craisins but unsweetened cranberries are better.
I used to be able to get them dried, but not now.

Making your own cranberry sauce makes people feel special and quite exclusive. Why that would be is a mystery. Perhaps the cranberry is a magical fruit.

My grandmother made hers from scratch, but it wasn't whole berry. ISTR
her running it through a food mill. She put it in a ring mold to set up.
Looked nice when it came out, although I definitely recall some anxiety,
hot water, and mild cussing over getting it out of the mold.

It's the same basic recipe as the regular sauce. You go ahead and boil
the berries in water with sugar but cook it a longer and put it through
mill or press it through a sieve.

So I've heard. Still doesn't explain why you felt the need to buy a
huge bag of cranberries for no discernible reason.

Well you could wonder about that, or you could wonder if she really did?

She probably did. It's her modus operendi. Buy a big bunch of
something she doesn't know what to do with or can't eat. She'll wind up
throwing them away.

when you map real spacetime onto rfc spacetime, Schroedinger's cat
transforms into Julie's cranberries

But that was a thought experiment! Involving Julie would make it a
"no-thought" experiment:-)

Both you and Janet UK hit on the method I plan to use next time.
I'm thinking about making a cranberry cobbler...if I can get a
good taste from the berries.

course

Hahahahaaaa, I think that's pretty normal with a lot of people doing some mild
cussing when unmolding congealed food items. Even taking fresh baked cakes
out of pans will produce 'discouraging words.'
