I looked online and I believe that a standard bag size for the Ocean Spray cranberries ia 12 ounces. It's not as if you can find other non-standard sizes. Ocean Spray is about all you can get in most grocery stores unless you are lucky enough to live near cranberry bogs.

I believe the next time I make it, I will heat the water I use for to dissolve the Jell-O and then steep it with some Celestial Seasonings Blueberry fruit teat to try and deepen the bluebrry flavor. of course, any red fruit tea would also work as would any good black tea. I could also steep the first cup of water used in the same tea.

I don't use sherry or alcohol in my cranberry sauce out of habit because several members of my immediate family are recovered alcoholics and YES, you can still taste it even if the alcohol component has cooked off. it's not so much the alcohol content that recovered AA members worry about, it's the taste of it and the potential to make them jones for a drink.

My recipe may seem complicated but it's really not. You can make it while you are doing something else such as threading on Mudcat!
