Do cranberries have seeds? If so, are they large?

Question

I want to make home made cranberry sauce to Thanksgiving. A guess asked about seends in cranberries? Do they have seeds?
Any good recipes for cranberry sauce are welcome as well!

Answer 1

yes, cranberries have seeds. They are very small and it's difficult to see them. in smooth canned cranberry sauce they have been ground up with the berries so that you can't see them. A cranberry has 4 to 8 seeds in each berry. For those with deberculitis? sp. It can make a person very ill and even possibly kill them.

Answer 2

No they don't have seeds at all
here is a cranberry relish recipe

[Cranberry Relish]

This is a great cranberry relish for all turkey dishes and turkey sandwiches, and a tasty alternative to a more traditional cranberry sauce. The relish consists of raw cranberries, apples, and an orange, all put through a grinder with sugar added to macerate. The resulting relish is truly delicious. A few years ago I was served this relish at my uncle's house; he had received some as a gift from a friend who is a professional chef in San Francisco. I begged my uncle to ask his friend for the recipe. He did, and here it is:

Preparation time: 15 minutes.

* 2 cups washed raw cranberries
* 2 skinned and cored apples
* 1 large, whole (peel ON) seedless orange, cut into sections
* 2 cups granulated sugar

1 Set up the grinder with a medium-sized blade on the edge of a table with a large roasting pan or bowl to catch the mix as it grinds. These old fashioned grinders tend to leak some of the juice down the grinder base, so you may want to set up an additional pan on the floor under the grinder to catch the drips. If you don't have an old-fashioned grinder you can use a grinder attachment on a KitchenAid mixer, you can chop by hand (though that will take a lot of work), or you can chop in a food processor (be very careful not to over-pulse, or you'll end up with mush).

2 Run fruit through a grinder. Use the entire (seedless) orange, peels, pith and all.

3 Mix in the sugar. Let sit at room temperature until sugar dissolves, about 45 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.

Makes about 3 cups.

Answer 3

Cranberries do not have seeds in them. Bags of cranberries often come with instructions for making sauce on the label. it is very easy: Rinse the cranberries and then put them in pot with perhaps a quarter cup of water and about 3/4 to a cup of sugar and cook the cranberries on the stove top under medium heat until they look like cranberry sauce (perhaps 10 minutes). Check the taste for sweetness. Without sugar, cranberries taste sour.

Answer 4

Yes they do but they are very tiny. So if you make your own cranberry sauce you don't have to worry about them. They are in commercially made cranberry sauce, too.
