“Call me a traditionalist, but I prefer my cranberry in its natural state, in the shape of a can of dog food”

Before thanksgiving gets here I want to show a photo of cranberry sauce in its natural state. This is the way it’s found in the wild. Don’t try and fool me with that chunky runny mess in a bowl. That is all
