I will make the most gourmet thanksgiving dinner, but there’s no world that I’m not gonna have a can of that ocean spray cranberry sauce cut up into slices. I cannot shake it, devoted for life lol.
Cutting little hole in bottom of can and then opening so the mass of goodness slides out intact, is best part. Plus it’s perfect for leftover sandwiches (white bread turkey salt pepper mayo crannie B) ❤️💜
Why the wooden spoon? Eating dinner your not going to eat with the wooden spoon so why use them in taste testing so stupid.They should be using the silverware that they would have dinner with.
You must be doing something wrong, much less having high fructose as one of the ingredients you want to stay away from. I know mine taste better than Ocean Spray and healthier.
@@LadybugLuv And it has to still have the shape of the can. I'm the only one in my family who likes cranberry sauce and I host T-day, so you know it's on the menu.
I never liked cranberry sauce until I made my own a few years ago. Cranberries cooked down, sugar, and some fresh squeezed orange juice-simple and delicious!
We do our own, have no set recipe we do every year but often have some sort of alcohol added that compliments the cranberry such as Grand Marnier or Aperol or Campari or even a nice gin just to give a deeper, more evolved flavor
Yep - that jellied can of Ocean Spray with the ridges to help the slicing, is just the taste of childhood. Homemade everything else, but this is the callback to the 1950's housewife grandma you loved.
Sometimes I make homemade Lingonberry sauce. Lingonberries are a Scandinavian thing. The local grocery store stocks whole frozen Lingonberries (only) during the holiday season.
I like the Trader Joe's Cranberry Orange relish. Only available a short time during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. It's refrigerated, not canned.
Exactly my thought. There isn't an easier recipe in the world, and it can be made days in advance, so why anyone would buy the prepared stuff is beyond me.
@@ajs11201: it can be made weeks in advance. Cranberry sauce must have high enough levels of either acidity or sugar, because it keeps for at least 4 weeks.
I've never made it, but I imagine the recipe goes something like this: Fresh cranberries, sugar, water, lemon juice. Cook it in a saucepan for a while.
I serve the Ocean spray jellied cranberry sauce as well as my homemade orange cranberry whole berry sauce. There is nothing like the jellied and is a bit with everyone. And the best slice is the one with the imprint on it. It also makes a great spread on a left over sandwich with various items like turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing.
No need to slice jellied cranberry sauce and arrange it pretty on a plate at my house. Family forks a jellied slice or scoops a large tablespoon of whole berry then plops it on their plate. Only Ocean Spray or homemade allowed in our house. 😂😂
Nothing better so easy. Any extra put in a container and freeze for another meal when you can no longer get fresh seasonal berries buy extra fresh bags and freeze for all kinds of recipes
I used to make a Thanksgiving compote of cranberries, chopped dried apricots, a chopped green apple, turbinado sugar (usually), and either orange juice concentrate or pomegranate juice. Then, just before serving (so they don't get soggy), stir in chopped walnuts. After something fell on my special ceramic compote serving bowl and broke it, I switched to just dishing compote out of the Visions pot I always cooked it in. Then one sorry day a few years ago the Visions pot suddenly and mysteriously slid down and off the end of a table and crashed to the floor, breaking into hundreds of pieces. I haven't made Thanksgiving compote since then, despite good intentions.
Yeah I mean to each their own but something just feels so wrong about serving a solidified jelly that has taken on the texture of the can. I used to completely skip it every single thanksgiving when I was younger because it always looks just so strange and had barely any flavor.
People make fun of the canned sauce, but it's still the fav. Mom used to make homemade with real cranberrries and oranges, but we still preferred the canned.
Make it yourself… easy and you’re able to add your own little signature to it…I add a few red pepper flakes to counter the sweetness.. there’s never any left!
Literally the only two that I've ever seen locally are the Ocean Sprays. Guess it's good that the one we already get was the winner. Actually have a flat of them in the pantry right now, lol.
Homemade cranberry sauce is the best and it's really easy. If you can boil water and stir, you can make cranberry sauce. Just buy a 12-oz bag of cranberries. The Ocean Spray bag of cranberries has the recipe for cranberry sauce on the bag. The 3 ingredients are a cup of sugar, a cup of water and 3 cups (a 12 oz. bag) of cranberries. Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan on medium heat. Rinse cranberries and pick out any bad ones. When the sugar has dissolved in the water, add 3 cups of cranberries to the saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to heat. As the berries start to pop (about 8 minutes in), start stirring and pushing the berries against the side of the pan to pop them. Continue until most of the berries have popped (about 10-12 minutes in). Remove from heat and stir for about a minute. Allow to cool, then refrigerate. Note: The sauce will thicken as it cools. It is quite runny while hot. If you want flavor variations, you can add orange juice or lemon juice or vanilla or cinnamon or nutmeg or just about any flavoring you like with cranberries. Sometimes I add a 15 oz. can of mandarin oranges with the juice from the can replacing some or all of the water depending on the amount of juice, and cook the mandarin oranges with the cranberries to get an easy to make, delicious cranberry orange relish. If you have mandarin oranges canned in syrup instead of juice, you can drain the mandarin oranges and just use the specified amount of water in the above recipe. You can add a tablespoon of lemon juice at the end of cooking for more citrus tartness.
Canned Jellied Cranberry Sauce for the win!! It's so satisfying to cut open the can and watch that congealed log of goodness slide out and land on a crisp white serving tray.🤣 Happy Thanksgiving fellow humans!! Be kind to each other.😊
Homemade whole berry (couldn't be easier or faster) and even homemade jellied (a little more work pushing it through a sieve) are ready. 12 ounce bags of cranberries are on sale for 99 cents at my local market this week. Guess what I'm making tomorrow?
Gotta try everything because sometimes the less conventional and conceptually distinct but nonetheless similar products are even better than the mainstays
I can do fresh but I must have the Ocean Spray in a can jelly style .......It is everything and mix it with tomato sauce for best Swiss Steak ...........Just like the best Mac n Cheese is Stouffers ........ My fresh cranberry sauce is maple syrup and fresh ginger flavored. ( why a Brit judge when England has no Thanksgiving and cranberries are native to North America not British Isles ).
Seriously. Do half water half orange juice, and use some brown sugar with the white sugar. It’s insanely good and very very easy to make. Do not forget to add a generous pinch of salt, it’s the secret ingredient.
@@Es_Elle: Fresh cranberries are even easier and cheaper to use than dried cranberries. Just buy a bag and follow the recipe on it. You can alter both the sugar and water level to your own taste, and add any spices you may like. No need for lemon or orange juice if you don’t like it. Me, it’s just sugar, water, cranberries, and heat for about 10 minutes. Yum.
What about the home-made Susan Stamberg sour cream cranberry relish? With horseradish! It's a wonderful pop of flavor and when done right it's color brightens the table!
Just buy Ocean Spray berries - fresh or frozen - and use Chef Jean Paul recipe - including a dash of black pepper and hot sauce. You’ll never go back to cans.
My family uses a can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce to make a jellied cranberry salad with pineapple, pecans, & raspberry jello. Easy, but a little more fancy and tasty than straight out of the jar. ✨
There’s definitely a nostalgic component to eating Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce if that’s what you grew up eating, it just tastes like Thanksgiving. If I’m going to have a whole berried cranberry sauce then I just assume make it myself from fresh but I have no problem with Ocean Spray jellied as well.
Make your own!! One bag fresh cranberries, 1 cup sugar, a bit of orange peel - bring to a boil, simmer about 10 min and chill. Easy, delicious, no preservatives or weird ingredients, doesn’t taste like a can. I make at least 8 qts every fall and serve all year long, often with soup beans and cornbread and on hand sandwiches. 😋
I like making my own sauce with fresh orange juice and brown sugar…. And then adding sliced ocean spray jelly on top. More textures for those who want it :)
I just thought of a cute way to serve jellied cranberry sauce. You serve it like a buche Noel but it’s a buche de Thanksgiving where you props up one can and put another can of it next to it then use cranberry sauce to fill in the gaps and give it a cute look 😂
I make two cranberry sauces. One is a relish, the other whole berry. You still need to have Ocean Spray jellied cranberry. There’s the ritual of having it plop out of the can that is nostalgic
Who else skipped through to see what they had to say about Ocean Spray jellied? Not having it on the table should be a crime, with a sentence of no pie for the perpetrator.
They won't test products from outside the northeast, or products made for place like TJ or Aldi. It's snobbery. Many private-label products are made specifically for the distributor, but that doesn't make it past their snobbery test.
@@anthonyhawkins3576: ??? You must be new here. Yes, some of test products are from the Northeast, but I’m here in the heartland and in ten years, I’ve never seen a test that didn’t focus on products that were available nationwide..
The Ocean Spray Whole Berry has the acidity in the berry. So the tasting was not as one would eat it. That is why the jelly was the winner. The acidity was balanced during the cooking.
@ True. But that is not what was represented in the video. Just some editor with a posh accent declaring was has and has not the flavor balance he was looking for.
Smiths/Kroger Simple Truth Organic Whole Berry or Jellied is the best canned cranberry sauce I’ve ever had. Ingredients are top notch- cranberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. It’s worth trying if you like canned cranberries.
Ocean Spray is pretty ubiquitous in supermarkets in my part of Illinois. The alternative is usually the store's house brand. I wouldn't buy anything containing nuts, though, because as a denture wearer I have difficulty chewing nuts. The best locally available cranberry sauce for me is when I can find cranberry-orange relish in the supermarket deli. (I've made cranberry sauce from the fresh berries at least once -- but who has time to do that in addition to prepping all of the other Thanksgiving side dishes?
The easiest dish to make for Thanksgiving is homemade cranberry sauce. It takes about 15 minutes to make and tastes delicious. I was a fan of the canned jellied cranberry sauce until I started making my own homemade. Seriously, make your own, serve both, and have a taste test around the table on Thanksgiving. You might be surprised.
Ocean Spray all the way! My preference is their whole berry. IMHO those other 'boutique' products are designed to 'impress' rather than taste good. Many times simplicity and flavor wins out over flash and packaging.
Ocean Spray jelly all the way. Drain the excess juice. It's also good smeared on a chicken salad sandwich. Maybe they got a bad batch but I find a good balance of tart and sweet. It's not a gourmet item, it's simple condiment.
I ❤ can~berry sauce! But... 1 pound bag of cranberries 1 bottle raspberry beer(frambosen) and 1/4 cup fine diced crystallized ginger and ¼ cup sugar, Simmered until thick and berries are all popped.
I use ocean spray jellied cranberry as an ingredient in a pie I make. Family likes it all year round. Now I’m off to,make family’s favorite cookie. Pizzelle’s .
Once upon a time, I found an amazing Tomato and Orange preserve[s]. I believe it was this company….i cannot recall. I actually took several jars of this as a host gift, to my French host family. 2002. I have been trying to either find, or reproduce that confiture for half a lifetime.
It is so easy to make a delicious cranberry sauce/relish at home. Given how disappointing all these products are, why not just make your own? Cranberries, sugar, water ... orange, a little spice to taste ... and you've got a gourmet delight!
Producer: Okay so we have a big American holiday coming up and we really need to nail this. Cranberry sauce what could be more American? Who do we have that could really deliver!!!??? Casting: I like the British guy.
I can't stand the 'whole berry' sauce made by anyone, I prefer the Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce, what I was raised with at our Thanksgiving and Christmas tables!
Homemade is so much cheaper, healthier, easier, and tastier imo. Fresh cranberries ($.99 at Aldi), Truvia 0 calorie brown sugar substitute, cinnamon sticks, diced small apple, apple cider, pure maple syrup, Chinese 5 spice, vanilla. Throw it all in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Cool to thicken and enjoy.
Yeah. I was thinking the whole time, even if Ocean Spray isn't first but it's close, it will still be the winner because it's going to be the least expensive!
I make lots of cranberry sauce for exactly this reason. Stirred in with whipped cream to make cranberry fool, on top of vanilla ice cream for a cranberry sundae, as a topping for custard, tapioca, or vanilla pudding - all of it delicious.
We grew up on jellied Ocean Spray. I prefer a little clove and orange peel in a whole-berry sauce. Homemade isn't that hard. Maybe even just punch up the prepared stuff? It tends to be too sweet.
There just is not any store bought Cranberry "anything" that matches up with my late mom's cranberry relish. She would hand grind it with her old meat grinder, and walnut pieces, orange....something (I don't have the recipe), sugar of course, little pieces of celery (I know, but it works), and some other ingredients I can't remember. I could eat that all day, except my gut would complain if I did.
ALL cranberries contain carbon atoms, hence all are organic. FYI: Petroleum is highly organic. Therefore one can blend a in small amount of motor oil and make any food organic. Just use it sparingly, too much will overpower the other ingredients😊
I will make the most gourmet thanksgiving dinner, but there’s no world that I’m not gonna have a can of that ocean spray cranberry sauce cut up into slices. I cannot shake it, devoted for life lol.
It's those uncanny ripples on the outside of the slices. (No pun intended.)
Cutting little hole in bottom of can and then opening so the mass of goodness slides out intact, is best part. Plus it’s perfect for leftover sandwiches (white bread turkey salt pepper mayo crannie B) ❤️💜
Why the wooden spoon? Eating dinner your not going to eat with the wooden spoon so why use them in taste testing so stupid.They should be using the silverware that they would have dinner with.
My mom was very much into that but for me it's always whole cranberries cooked with half the recommended sugar.
Childhood memories of great food, family and friends
There is something lovely and nostalgic about ocean spray jellied cranberry sauce.
It is the only kind that I will eat.
I don't like fresh cranberry sauce.
I definitely don't like whole berry sauce in the can.
Agree
Wish they would limit the tests to nationally available items as many times can't get the winner in the central part of the country
@@jbnjr I agree. I guess they think that if you want it bad enough... you'll look online for it? 😄
Not classy or gourmet but it will always be my favorite. LOVE the rings as a "cutting guide." 🤣🥳
Yay !!!!!!! Ocean Spray Won!!!! My favorite for 80 years !!!!cant beat it!!!!
I doubt the ingredients included high fructose corn syrup 80 years ago.
I’ve made my own jellied cranberry sauce. It was marginally better than Ocean Spray, cost twice as much, and was way more effort than opening a can.
You must be doing something wrong, much less having high fructose as one of the ingredients you want to stay away from. I know mine taste better than Ocean Spray and healthier.
It’s not Thanksgiving without the Ocean Spray Cranberry Jelly sliced on the table.
It IS mildly amusing that we went all that way, just to end up with the one that we'll all mostly buy this Thanksgiving, lol
*In sports announcer voice:* The OG. The classic. The oldie, but goodie...Ocean Spray.
I felt relieved and vindicated! Oeanspray JELLIED is the only cranberry sauce I ever buy and will ever eat! 😋
I think it's amusing we're taking advice from a Brit on an American Holiday staple.
@@LadybugLuv And it has to still have the shape of the can. I'm the only one in my family who likes cranberry sauce and I host T-day, so you know it's on the menu.
My table always has two: homemade whole cranberry orange sauce and a can of sliced jellied Oceanspray. Always!!
That’s what I recommend. Best of both worlds.

You guys messed up. Cranberry relish is in a completely separate category from the two styles of cranberry sauce.
Exactly! It's a separate product category.
Gotta try everything because sometimes the less conventional and conceptually distinct but nonetheless similar products are even better than the mainstays
They didn't mess up anything. Some people do make relish for Thanksgiving.
Where's Jack?
That was my question. This guy is not a good dupe.
I’m never buying cranberry sauce again after I learned how easy it is to make at home
Seems like there should've been an American tase testing this one.
I can do fresh but I must have the Ocean Spray in a can jelly style .......It is everything and mix it with tomato sauce for best Swiss Steak ...........Just like the best Mac n Cheese is Stouffers ........

Homemade is so much cheaper, healthier, easier, and tastier imo. Fresh cranberries ($.99 at Aldi), Truvia 0 calorie brown sugar substitute, cinnamon sticks, diced small apple, apple cider, pure maple syrup, Chinese 5 spice, vanilla. Throw it all in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Cool to thicken and enjoy.
I’ll make my own. Not a fan of corn syrup in anything. I scratch some orange zest and walnuts also
Ocean spray saves the day! I usually add drained mandarin oranges to the whole berry version.
Just look at the price of the winning whole cranberry sauce...OUCH
Yeah. I was thinking the whole time, even if Ocean Spray isn't first but it's close, it will still be the winner because it's going to be the least expensive!
More Joe! More Joe!
I make raw cranberry, orange, nut and honey sauce.
You can make cranberry sauce very easily, several days before you need it and keep it in the fridge.
Anyone else put whipped cream on the little leftover nub of jellied cranberry sauce after dinner and eat it as dessert?
No but you can bet I’ll be trying it this year!
@pampriddy7659 Hope you enjoy it! It's probably something weird that I do, lol
I make lots of cranberry sauce for exactly this reason. Stirred in with whipped cream to make cranberry fool, on top of vanilla ice cream for a cranberry sundae, as a topping for custard, tapioca, or vanilla pudding - all of it delicious.
@@TwilightStorm well weird is normal for me so I’m looking so I’m looking so forward to trying it! lol I’m so glad you shared it.
We grew up on jellied Ocean Spray. I prefer a little clove and orange peel in a whole-berry sauce. Homemade isn't that hard.
Maybe even just punch up the prepared stuff? It tends to be too sweet.
i have never seen Kate before she is awesome
I’ve never had a cranberry relish I liked. OS jellied is the way to go.
There just is not any store bought Cranberry "anything" that matches up with my late mom's cranberry relish. She would hand grind it with her old meat grinder, and walnut pieces, orange....something (I don't have the recipe), sugar of course, little pieces of celery (I know, but it works), and some other ingredients I can't remember. I could eat that all day, except my gut would complain if I did.
I mean, Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce IS Thanksgiving.
Period.
Why would anyone ever buy cranberry sauce. So easy and cheap to make.
ALL cranberries contain carbon atoms, hence all are organic. FYI: Petroleum is highly organic. Therefore one can blend a in small amount of motor oil and make any food organic. Just use it sparingly, too much will overpower the other ingredients😊
Should have had 2 Americans tasting this. Brits have no history of cranberry sauce. We eat it from birth.
Really disappointing that Ocean Spray doesn't use sugar, just high fructose corn syrup.
