Tomorrow for Sunday dinner I'm roasting a whole bone-in turkey breast (with fixins) and I love cranberry sauce with my turkey. I have a can of Ocean Spray jelled cranberry sauce. But since my son doesn't like it, I'm the only one who will be eating it. Which means I'm going to have probably 3/4 of a can of cranberry sauce left that I really don't want to have to throw away.
So I was thinking of cutting the rest of the can down into individual slices and freezing the slices (on a sheet pan covered with freezer paper so the slices won't stick) and, for future meals, just pulling out a slice or two to thaw as I need them. But I've been reading a lot of conflicting comments about the end result of frozen cranberry sauce.
Has anyone done this and had any success? Or does freezing the cranberry sauce basically ruin it?
Again, this is canned jellied cranberry sauce.
