And I suppose why not, people seem to have a strange attachment to jello. People i know have even thrown it together with fruit placed it in a mold and then put cool whip on top of it and tried to serve it to me as dessert.

Maybe jellied canned cranberry sauce should be placed in the dessert category as it's so sweet.

Personally I like my cranberries mixed with caramel and dipped in chocolate. They're called cranberry bogs. hmm good.

My mother always has a can of the cranberry stuff sliced on the Thanksgiving table. I never really cared for it until the last couple of years. I take a small slice, eating only about half of it, small bites eaten throughout the meal. Somehow it fits in inbetween bites of turkey, stuffing, etc. It just fits somehow. Can't explain it. My mom has always been the only other one that has eaten it. It is the one and only time of year I have ever seen it on our table.

The quality cranberry stuff (the one with real berries), I don't care for. Go figure.
