Has anyone tried making there own cranberry sauce,went to my sisters for chrismas dinner and she made her own,it was lovely,delia smith recipe she told me and very easy.

Sheila.

I always make my own (from the Delia recipe) and it is lovely.  'Bought' cranberry sauce tastes like having jam on your dinner to me!!  :)  :)

Yes, made it myself this year and really lovely, used Nigellas version more or less..took just ten minutes and will deffo do in future

It's really cheap, easy to do and takes next to no time--I always make my own and add a little brandy to it once it's cooked through to liven it up :-)

Call me bizarre (many have and many will) but I like the 'jam' type. My late father always used to make his own cranberry sauce, usually involving lots of red wine - but I still asked to have some of the stuff in a jar.... turkey, stuffing & CS sandwiches don't work with with the home-made sort.

I use something like 2 fl oz to a half kilo of cranberries plus a good bit of sugar and mine sets to a fairly jammy consistency. It has never fallen out of a sandwich yet :-), sounds like your father might have been putting in a lot more liquid than I do :-)

Yep, knowing him, he probably did! ;)

This thread is almost making me cry by the way.... I am desperate for one of the above but it's a race against time, I forgot to buy bread and I am going to have a panic attack if the T an d/or S runs out before I can get to the shops for bread (the CS is in a jar and lots left thankfully).

OMG!!! I feel your pain Christmas would be incomplete without a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sarnie!!

Brie, grape and cranberry makes a good alternative if the turkey disappears before you can get your bread :-)

Yes it would if some how one naughty flat coat puppy hadnt pinched the brie !

Whoops :-)

Ahhhh bliss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for being open today, Mr. Tesco! My Christmas is now complete :)

I went to a friend's for Christmas Lunch and came home with some turkey and stuffing for a sandwich ;-) Next door neighbour supplied carcass for the rats and pickings for dogs so all well pleased<sigh>
