I love fresh cranberries, I make it in orange juice. I buy a bag for myself too, I could make a meal of them! My Grandma would only buy the canned sauce, she snubbed our cranberry sauce every year.
Which do you prefer?

Usually I prefer homemade foods... except when it comes to cranberry sauce. Give me the canned gelatinous stuff!

Yeah, no idea why but I lovvvvve the canned stuff! I make a homemade thanksgiving dinner every year, but always use the canned jellied sauce! I made a cranberry compote one year and nobody wanted it, haha.

Fresh! It's so easy to make and once I tried it I was never going back.

Fresh for me and almost all of my family. My BIL loves the canned stuff, so we always have some for him. We like to just plop it out on a plate, leaving all the ridges on it. He's so happy to take a slice and enjoy.

We always have fresh but we have to have a can of cranberry sauce too! It's the best for sandwiches!

I couldn't vote both, but I really do love them both! My sister makes a fantastic cranberry sauce, but I need a fat slice of the canned stuff on my plate between my turkey and mashed potatoes

Ew definitely not canned!! Growing up my fave thanksgiving dish was my grandma's homemade cranberry sauce. I don't eat much canned stuff

Doesn't matter to me! I'll take either.
If I have the time, I'll make it fresh with OJ, too.

I used to love canned until I found a fantastic recipe. Everyone loves my fresh made cranberry sauce!

Fresh cranberry citrus relish- uses a little OJ and orange zest and segments. Yum yum

I love Trader Joes cranberry orange relish. I cannot eat the canned stuff.

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I would pick fresh if I had to pick. The canned one doesn't look like real food?

I love both. I think that they both have a place on the table. Growing up, we would get the gelatinous stuff with weeknight meals, so it wasn't Thanksgiving only.

Fresh but SO's family loves the canned. It has to be one gelatinous mass and have ridges (from the can!). And of course they serve it in a beautiful glass dish.

May I recommend orange liquer and walnuts in your cranberry sauce? I used it one year instead of OJ. World of difference!

Neither (not really a cranberry fan unless it's mixed with vodka) but if I had to choose I would go with my MIL's fresh cranberry relish.

Fresh all the way! With a little fresh lemon juice and zest! I could eat it by the bucketfuls!

@ ginabean3 - my family totally does that! My dad and sister love the canned stuff, so that's what mum mom buys and she puts it in a gorgeous cut crystal dish.
This year, I have both because why not? I will only eat the fresh and my dad and sister prefer the canned.

I love that the canned one doesn't look like real food! It's just so typical of the 1950s!
I serve both at Thanksgiving.
