Tonight’s word is ‘gelatinous’. In an attempt to get a head start on Thanksgiving I decided to make the cranberry sauce tonight. Happy to have Jana and her girls in the kitchen we set out to make the easiest of holiday recipes.
Not.
It would appear there was too much water. Or not enough sugar. Or just plain beat cranberries. But in no way did this cranberry sauce possess the (here it comes) gelatinous consistency that we expected.
We were, however, happy to be able to use the word gelatinous more often than humanly possible.
There were years when I used to burn an apple pie, then have to bake another. I suppose the cranberries were tagged as ‘it’ this year.
i could cry but i don't have time 
You should have called Nana:)
my mom just made hers–a bit tart, quite gelatinous
when i make my cranberry sauce its honestly ONLY the fresh berries and sugar I just let it cook down and add sugar to taste NO WATER nothing.
thanks eschelle, i figured that out on the second round!
