Cranberry sauce

[Doug Varrieur]

Dried fruit measures differently than fresh, 1 cup of dried cranberries is equal to 2.5 cups of fresh

Rena if you melt a box of sugar free orange (even better if you can find it cranberry) jello in 1 cup of hot water and add it to the mix.  It will set up very stiff like the stuff in the can

I like to use Raspberry SF Jello to get the Cran-Raspberry flavor.

Thanks, everyone! I really love cranberry sauce and I've made it from scratch, but that was before FTS. I'm really excited about making a SF version this year. I'm the only one in the house who loves whole berry sauce, since my family all like the jellied. We're having a friend over for Thanksgiving dinner who follows Weight Watchers and she's all excited because we eat a bit of the same stuff -- like mashed cauliflower, etc.

Andrea, I got Raspberry SF Jello to use with this recipe, too! Maybe I'll mix one Raspberry and one Orange. YUM

Wait aren't the ones in the bag at the grocery store dehydrated?

We're talking volume here, aren't we - like how many actual berries fit in a cup?

[joagain]

No I got a bag of fresh cranberries out of the produce department 1/2 cup is 4 carbs .

Jo is right.... I use the fresh myself.  The dehydrated ones have way to many carbs

So the ones in produce section are fresh? Dougie is from the Cape home of the cranberry bogs he needs to chime in.

Yes, most of the stores stock up on a lot of fresh ones this time of year. I can also find them frozen the rest of the year. I've never made anything with the dried ones before, although I have eaten Crainsins -- before FTS, that is.

[joagain]

I cant believe we knew something you didnt !!!!!  They say the bags freeze well also so I think I am gonna buy me a few bags

[umpa]

Yep! You all got me! Still can't make the worm ice cream either!

[Rena]

I loved having cranberry sauce this year! I just made it the same as on the back of the bag -- a cup of water, with a cup of Xylitol, and the berries. It turned out perfect! I'm going to buy a few more bags and freeze them.
