  • Whole berry is most like the homemade that we had as kids.

    Now that we're old we also appreciate the fiber.
  • Gotta have both! Depends! Whole Berry for company. Jellied for family! HeHeHe!

    It depends on how the Thanksgiving meal is being served. If it is a buffet, the jellied slides easily off the loaded plate at the slightest list, Whole Berry has better traction. For family style either is ok and Whole Berry is more easily buried under the mashed potatoes if you don't like it. lizzie
    Who leaves mashed potatoes on their plate? :) Next to dressing they are my families favorite because we usually only have them for holiday meals. Oh,as to cranberries....we like the whole berry,especially on turkey sandwiches.

  • Oh, there is something other than jellied? ;)

    For whole berry I like to use fresh cranberries and follow the directions on the bag with some orange zest and spices thrown in for good measure.
