Thanks,
I was going to make a joke about recipes from Europe, specifically
Hungary, but decided not to.
:-)
Besides, I generally don't like cranberry sauces.

I love cranberry sauce, but really... trying to duplicate one from a
TV dinner? I say open a can and be done with it.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

The decision to buy or not buy a TV dinner isn't based on a relish
alone.

I don't think you did.

Fresh cranberry's are readily available in the bay area, and the sauce
is not difficult to make but i always buy a can or 2 for nostalgic
purposes even more than ease of serving.
I prefer the whole cranberries in sauce but the elderly relative likes
the homogenized puree.
However that preference has as much to do with her liking a tablespoon
of it in her tea as any other use. She is also prone to spread it on
buttered bread as if it were a jam product and often has it with her
baked yams for b'fast.

How much of it is sold? i cant imagine any one actually liking the
Chinese Shao Xing rice wine yet large amounts of it are sold here in
the states as well as in China and i cant believe the bulk of it is
sold to people who don't like it. Though i understand a sizable portion
of it is used medicinally, as per Chinese traditional medicine, to soak
the herbs there of in.

I love smooth cranberry sauce on buttered toast, and I also like it with
pancakes instead of syrup (my last choice), or some kind of jelly or jam.
Smucker's red plum jam is great with pancakes. I've never checked the
sugar content of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce, but I imagine it's probably
not as high as jellies or jams. Syrup is okay, but it's gotta be pure
maple syrup, warmed up a bit with a little butter melted inside. But I
actually like to eat a little bit of the pancakes with just butter, then
add the syrup after I've eaten some. :)

Alone, no, but I would certainly refuse to buy it if I saw that it had
cranberry-apple sauce with it.

i don't imagine many people are having a glass of shaoxing as an *ap�ritif*
(even if they can find it unsalted in this country), but plenty of people
cook with it.
come to think of it, i wonder how much low-end sherry is used in cooking
rather than as a spinster aunt's tipple with the parson?
