Hibiscus sabdariffa
Common Names: roselle, Florida cranberry, Indian sorrel, Jamaican sorrel
Roselle is an interesting and beautiful plant in the home landscape. Fifty years ago it was widely grown in Florida as a summertime hedge and for its edible calyces. Place roselle where it will have plenty of room. This is a large annual, so thin plants to about 3 ft (0.9 m) apart. Feed and mulch well. In Florida, roselle is often planted in rows where it forms a dense hedge by late summer. If grown just for juice production, roselle is cultivated much like tomatoes, peppers or eggplants.
Roselle juice is similar to cranberry juice, but not as bitter. The calyces are harvested while they are still tender and juicy, about 10 days after the flowers appear. The plants will continue to flower and produce if kept picked. Remove and discard the seed pods from the calyces. Bring 2 quarts (1.9 l) of calyces and 1 quart (1 l) of water to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, then strain and use the juice with sugar to make a refreshing cranberry-like drink, or make jelly or wine as you would with any fruit juice. The strained pulp can be used for jam or pie.

Cranberry sauce is basically cranberries , sugar and water. Boiled then left to set. Any fruit can be used in place of cranberries but some require more boiling to reach almost a jelly stage. Strawberries and raspberries will also require a bit more sugar. Peaches and apricots a little bit less. All make a type of sauce obviously not cranberry but will add a joyous flavor to many meats other than turkey and chicken.

go to the grocery store, ask the kind people there to point you toward the canned cranberry sauce and buy either the smooth or the sauce with chunks of cranberry in it. Pay for it, bring it home and either slice it up (it comes out of the can in the same shape) or mush it up so people don't know its the canned version. Personally, I like the canned stuff better than homemade anyway.
enjoy!

Oh .. yeh......, you write c r a n b e r r y and s a u c e on a piece of papper and read the words loud, you can hear the sound of CRANBERRY SAUCE, if you want some more, read the words you wrote again and again, until you remember to buy the ingredients from the store to prepare it.

i don't believe there is a way to make cranberry sauce without cranberries. u could make sauce, but it wouldn't be cranberry sauce. it would be a very icky sauce, judging by what u know of cooking.

No. You can't make cranberry sauce with apples and oranges.

buy a can of cranberry jelly at the supermarket. A lot of professionals use this method instead of makoing their own.

Go ask Mr. Harry Potter or Gandalf maybe they can provide you answers. It's like, you lose a coin or ring in the dark part of an alley but your are looking for it on the most lighted area of the alley. Isn't it ironic?
