Nooooooooooo!

Fresh cranberry sauce is sooooooo easy to make. Don't ever use canned.

You just put fresh cranberries in a pot with just enough water to almost cover them, relatively hefty amounts of sugar. You can sit it on a back burner, simmering and stirring occasionally while you do other stuff. If you want to get fancy, you can add citrus juice, citrus rind, wine, sparkling wine, etc., but it's not necessary. It takes a bit of time, but almost zero effort. Just simmer and stir until it thickens up on its own.

Mind your business. Some of us like cylindrical cranberry sauce.

Cranberry must be shaped like the can it came in. Can shape good. Whole berry bad. This is the whole of the law.

But can it be cut into perfectly circular medallions?

You can, but why would you want to?

Cranberries contain a natural thickening agent (pectin), so could make it ahead of time, and leave it in the 'fridge overnight in an empty can if you absolutely have to have a can shape, but why? It's yummier and tastier when it's warm and right off the stovetop.

Ever open a number 10 can of cranberry sauce? It is a wonder to behold, and most terrible to desecrate, like stepping in new-fallen snow.

I'm planning to make a couple of kinds of soup: one a nice seafood soup mostly to please my husband and then a wild rice soup for the kid who is now allergic to bi-valves.

Like Cheerful Charlie, I also plan to serve mousse. Chocolate mousse.

You use canned beans in your bean casserole, don't you?

Bean casserole??? I don't eat that nasty shit!

It's not nasty if you use fresh beans. If you skip blanching them before baking, they come out extra crunchy.

Many cultures have some sort of feast day near the end of fall or the beginning of winter. What date it falls on or what you call it is kind of irrelevant.
