WIN-It-Wednesday: Pacific Natural Foods Cranberry Sauces
Halloween is here! And to me Halloween is the “official” start of the Holiday Season… my favorite season of the year! I love
the holidays since they are full of comfort foods, good memories and family get-togethers.
But sometimes those comfort foods end up not being very healthy and are full of things like corn syrup, additives, preservatives and artificial sweeteners. It’s funny how being gluten or allergen-free awakens you to the ingredient labels of the products that you eat. Since becoming gluten-free I found that I really scrutinize and question every ingredient on the label… not just the ones that contain gluten.
That is why I am a fan of Pacific Natural Food products. I love that they use wholesome, all-natural and organic ingredients. Plus they make it easy for those with food allergies or Celiac disease to easily understand and read their product’s labels. They also have an easy to read chart on their website that lists each of their products allergens. No guessing. No searching. Just simple basic info right at your computer keyboard or Smartphones fingertips.
Pacific Natural Foods makes two varieties of Cranberry Sauce – a jellied and a whole berry – both Thanksgiving holiday favorites.
One of the biggest difference between Pacific Natural Foods Cranberry Sauces and other brands is that there is NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP in the Pacific Natural Brand Cranberry Sauces. The only ingredients in Pacific Naturals Cranberry Sauces are: Organic cranberries, organic cane sugar and water. That’s it.
Pure and simple goodness.
I also like that Pacific Natural Cranberry Sauces come in BPA-free packaging and no can opener is required to open and enjoy.
Buh-bye ridged-tin-can-shaped jelly cranberry sauce! It’s been nice knowing ya… but I’ve found a new saucy holiday favorite. =)

Thanksgiving, any dessert is always the best part of the meal. Especially moms apple pie sadly a memory due to celiacs.

I remember my mom getting out her grinder, fastening it to the table, and making the stuffing for the turkey. Waking up to the smell of turkey in the morning is another wonderful memory.

My favorite memories are staying up late the night before to cook with my sister.

My favorite memory is waking up to a white world and driving to my grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving in the snow! The windows in her house got all foggy from the heat and steam coming off the turkey and other good eats.
The reason this is so special to me is that I live in the desert where it very rarely snows.

My Mom made every holiday the best. Her love made everything she made taste great.

October 31st, 2012 at 12:25 pm
my favorite memory of thanksgiving is frog eye jello. which of course is just tapioca in green jello. Never would eat it, still won’t but that jello was at every thanksgiving I can remember that grandma was at.

Theresa- I never heard of Frog Eye Jello before… It sounds perfect for Halloween too!

One of my favorite memories is one that I tell often. One year I forgot to buy a turkey until just before Thanksgiving, so I decided to go nontraditional and change things up a bit. For the main course instead of turkey I fixed Cornish Game Hens; and called them personal sized turkeys… I lost my holiday cooking privileges, from that day forward my Son has cooked the holiday meals. And did I argue, no way! He’s a great cook and goes all out for the holidays.

Love this story, Tomi! =)

My favorite Thanksgiving memory is the smell coming out of the kitchen when my Mom was making stuffing, the sauteed onions and celery…whenever I smell it, I automatically think of my Mom. <3

My favorite memory is definitely my Grandma’s homemade cranberry sauce. This will be our 2nd year without it, as she passed away 2 years ago. I really need to learn how to make it!

Can I say Yum really loud…YUM !!!!!!!

Getting up to watch the parades in our pajamas!

Visiting with family and friends with a relaxed, slow paced meal
November 5th, 2012 at 8:59 pm
My favorite memory is Thanksgiving night all the kids made turkey, mayo, and cranberry sandwiches along with snacking on left over desserts. Would love to use the whole berry sauce for turkey cranberry wraps.
November 6th, 2012 at 1:55 am
My favorite recipe is my mom’s sweet potato casserole, yum!
November 6th, 2012 at 9:57 am
Every Thanksgiving my Mama asked me if I wanted white or dark meat. And every year I said I wanted a turkey sandwich with dressing and cranberry sauce. Mama always answered me by saying that I could have the sandwich for supper but not Thanksgiving Dinner. What’s nice is now I don’t wait for Thanksgiving, I use cranberry sauce all the time with a chicken dinner.

Memories of getting up early and preparing a wonderful meal for family and friends.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
My favorite memories of Thanksgiving was the turkey and all the trimmings….Mom’s cornbread stuffing, which I now make gluten free; and my Dad and Uncle watching football on a full tummy and falling asleep in their chairs. In the evening, we started on the leftovers. Precious memories.
November 7th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Thanks for another chance to win. We all love cranberries at my house! Fresh, frozen for quick use in scones, and canned with our Thanksgiving fixings. When I get turkey other places and am not sure if the gravy is gluten free I use just cranberries on my turkey instead of gravy. Tasty!
November 8th, 2012 at 9:30 am
I love when my children and I share what we are thankful for at the dinner table on Thanksgiving.
November 8th, 2012 at 9:34 am
My daughters love making Autumn shapes out of slices of cranberry sauce….they use cookie cutters in the shapes of fall leaves, pumpkins, turkeys, etc. and display them on a platter for everyone to enjoy on turkey day.
November 8th, 2012 at 9:56 am
Other than watching the parade was looking forward to eating turkey and all the trimmings. I love the cranberries in a salad.
November 8th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Yeah for cranberry sauce and another chance to win! I love it!
November 9th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Fond memories of all being gather together and sharing the year’s events.
November 9th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
My favorite memory from Thanksgiving is being together with family to enjoy each other’s company and all the wonderful foods. Pumpkin pie,cranberry sauce,and stuffing are my favs! Looking forward to having them very soon! Now I make non dairy pumpkin pie though! Yum!
November 9th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
Not getting sick or someone else who was helping to cook!!!!! HAHAHA
November 10th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
My favorite memory is going for a long walk with my Grandma, after dinner, to make room for dessert!
November 10th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
My favorite is the mashed potatoes made with real potatoes. It was the only time of the year my mom “cooked.” (even though I made them)
November 11th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
2nd entry
November 12th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is having all the kids home or as many that can make it any way. They are now scattered all over the U.S.
November 13th, 2012 at 7:27 am
Favorite memories….hmm…getting together with cousins, aunts, uncles, and family friends and enjoying all the yummy food that each would bring as well as what my mom had cooked! 😀
November 13th, 2012 at 8:31 am
Hmmm …. Cranberry sauce. I love this berry sauced all year long with any white meat. I use this company’s condensed soup products; which I think are wounderful. I would love to try this product and will look in stores for it. 🙂 thank you.
