    High bush “dog poop” berries, pick all you want.

    Judy makes a cranberry salad with apples, celery and walnuts. Strangely though, I couldn't find real cranberries at the 3 grocery stores I checked this past week. Either they sold out or the dreaded supply chain problem reared its ugly head. I refuse to eat that canned glop as a substitute so we will do without. 😟 Bob

    That "canned glop" with cream cheese and leftover turkey on a potato roll and seasoned with garlic pepper is one of my favorite post-holiday sammiches.

    As a lad after I had polished off all the left over Turkey, Dressing, etc. I would be left with that "glop" after devouring that my mouth always had a tart sparkly feeling.

    First time I ever had real cranberry sauce I didn't care for it but I've come to prefer it.

    Will dangle berries work as a substitute?

    Or is dingle berries?

    Doesn't matter, never liked cranberries, never will. I'll take another helping of ham or turkey, thanks!

    Not canned jelly stuff.

    I live in the cranberry capital of the country. We are literally surrounded by Ocean Spray cranberry farms. They make up a good percentage of south Jersey.

    Wife makes it from cranberries, orange and I have to get out the Grand Marnier, not sure what else goes in, but it’s always good. MIL used to do the canned jelly like stuff…

    Anything that smells like dog poo after the first hard freeze can’t be good for you. Never in my life eaten a cranberry and I’m not starting any time soon.

    Two times I’ve heard the same comment made about cranberries and huckleberries.

    In a conversation about Thanksgiving, an old Alaskan sourdough spoke up and said “Boys, I ain’t eat’n anything that tastes like bear shit smells.

    twenty five years later, my wife was making hot cakes and asked an old cowboy if he wanted any fresh picked huckleberries in his hot cakes and he replied “Thanks ma’am, but I don’t eat anything that tastes like bear shit smells.

    I laughed both times.

    I’m partial to them both.

    Mule.

    If bear* smells like berries { I'll take your word for it!😁} I guess it stands to reason as they eat so many. Makes you wonder just what the heck we are eating!

    Am I the only one that’s ever smelled that? You come into a section of woods that’s usually shaded and there’s frost everywhere and the whole area stinks of dog cr@p? Noooooo thanks!

    My area of South Jersey was rife with bogs. There was a 3 acre bog about a mile from home that I believe was contracted to OS, but they had a roadside stand on Jackson Road in Medford,NJ. Nothing beats fresh picked cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving !

    Say what you will about NJ, (it's most likely true) but they have the best produce I have ever tasted ... The ONLY thing I miss !

    My bride found a big bag of whole ocean spray cranberries at Costco today. She cooks em down and sweetens em up a bit before adding to her jello salad.

    The berries are just too darn bitter for my sensitive taste buds. No matter how much sugar you add, the bitter never goes away.


    There are rumors going round lately that Jimmy Hoffa helped fertilize NJ's cranberry bogs. 😲

    I'll drink cran/apple juice once in awhile, but that's about it for me and cranberries.

    Love the stuff, canned or homemade. Also like the juice, and I add dried ones to my trail mix instead of raisins.

    I live at the other end of Jackson Road, in Atco. We still ride our dirt bikes down there. They never paved it. Just potholes and dirt. LOL. Great living in the pines.

    It is a Thanksgiving tradition at my house. Every year we open a can and put it in the fridge to chill before dinner. After everyone has eaten, we discover the cranberry sauce in the fridge where we forgot it. Don

    I too am a fan of the special cranberry sauce with ridges from the can.

    This was all we had as a kid. I always wanted the first slice with concentric circles from the lid ! 😉
