Where in the world can you find (16 oz) cans of whole cranberries (Ocean Spray)??? I searched grocery store after store - - even looked when I went out of State. No one ever even heard of them whole in a can, so I wrote to Ocean Spray 3 times. I must have gotten someone from a thrid world country who was reading my question. Each time I wrote I underlined 16 oz can of whole cranberries. She kept telling me whole cranberries weren't on the market until the Fall. I told her I didn't want fresh cranberries, that I had 3 bags of them in my freezer. Then she told me they didn't have 16 oz whole cranberry SAUCE in cans, that they didn't come in that large of a size. It took me 24hours each time I had to email them. Finally I gave up - - - no recipe is worth that much frustration!! Now I'm stuck with 2 boxes of Krusteaz blueberry muffin mix, and a HUGE bottle of white cranberry juice. Also, how do you get 3 cans of blueberries from 2 boxes of the mix?? Finally, only 1 egg seems like too little for this recipe from what I'm reading about how dry this recipe is. Live and learn - - - I spent a lot of money on a recipe I can't use. If I remember correctly, I went on a neverending search for Southwestern Cheddar Cheese soup as an ingredient for another recipe of Sandras. Each time I'm in another town or State, I always check the soup shelves but NO LUCK. I'd like to know where she shops!!
