    Girl, I can't tell you how much your vids help me and my household. As a 40 year old mother of special needs kids trying to get by day to day with my own special needs, cooking can be a real challenge. But your videos help me with that. I look up to you and your fam as I am trying to run a household in Faith as well. Thank you for all the laughs and hope that you and your videos bring me Mandy

    Mandy, there is an air pocket at the top/bottom of the can. You just slide a butter knife down the side to the bottom of the can to release the air. The sauce will just slide out of the can perfectly. It, also, works on the jelly so you can slice it neatly on your serving dish. Was raised near the Cranberry Capital, Carver, MA. It is quite a sight to watch them harvest the berries. Enjoy!❤

    • @maryhite8917
      @maryhite8917 Před 6 měsíci

      I make my own as did my mom. I have never eaten canned cranberry sauce. It is really ray to do whether it us whole berry or no berry (my favorite) and you can add orange, spices etc...personally I like it just cranberries, sugar & water.

    • @Daphne-cp8ss
      @Daphne-cp8ss Před 6 měsíci +1

      6:17 according to Ocean Spray that air pocket in the can is there to make easy for the sauce to come out intact and not all broken up. As for apricot and caramel either pronunciations are right.

    Here is an easy recipe: Little Smokey's heated in pepper jelly, I used red pepper and jalapeno pepper jelly (half jar of each). Nice spice and pretty with the red and green. You could use a whole jar of the red pepper jelly and dice up the jalapeno and put in.

    That is so the cranberry cans can be stacked easily. If you poke a hole with an old fashion bottle opener in the 'bottom' of the cranberry can, doesn't matter which type, it slides out easier. HA! And using the damp towel trick, love it. I'm sure more people than just myself mentioned it. Another great vid.

Went home the afternoon of No 18, fell in the middle of the night and went to the hospital in an ambulance. I’ve been here ever since because I broke a bone in my pelvis. Probably be here another couple of weeks. Your programs give such a boost. The joy and laughter are contagious. Thank you for being there.

    Hey Mandy just a little tip for you if you get a can of something and it won't come out like you did with the cranberry take one of those old can openers that just punches a hole & puncture a hole in the opposite end and it will slide right out like butter, it will also work for the canned soups. 👩‍🦳😁💜

    Steven, the orange & cranberries mellowed out the cream cheese flavor for you.

    It all looks so good. Just love your guys. Little missy is so cute. I can tell you a secret when I was little my Nany told me not to worry about strange or not perfect cookies,cheese ect. They special because they are so full of love. When stars have legs that are odd they are trying to catch up with the gingerbread man. Great ideas going to try all of them.😊

      I love that so much! Thank you for sharing that and for coming up with the cute reason as to why my pitiful stars aren't as pitiful as I thought!

    After finishing the whole video I have to come back and leave another comment to say I have to try every single one of these! They all look so good. My hubby especially wants me to make the caramel dip. 😋
    Also, you did an awesome job with the puff pastry trees! For some reason I’ve always been intimidated by puff pastry, even though it’s pre-made. 😜

    Mandy,
    Honey I laughed out loud so LOUD, when you said “You were gonna have this for dinner”- I thought you were talking about the cream cheese caramel/apple dip only!
    The little trees are so cute! Love those.
    Y’all are so natural on your videos. I absolutely love it!😘💕

    Canned cranberry sauce is packaged the way it is so that when you open it, it easily comes out... as long as you've stored it with the label right-side up.
