The Part 1 of my summary seems to have not gone through the
first time, so I am re-sending this.
Thank you to all of you who took the time to reply. I have been
the recipient of several interesting looking recipes (see below), but
no recommendations for a packaged corn free cranberry sauce.
When I was in Whole Foods last week, my daughter saw their 365 store brand
cranberry sauce, and it was made with cane sugar, so we bought a
couple of cans and it was very good.
For those of you interested in making your cranberry sauce or salad,
here are the recipes. Thanks for all your answers

========================================================
I had this at our office Thanksgiving feast. I'm not sure of the exact
can sizes. It was great.
one can whole cranberries/whole berry sauce (about 12-15oz size)
one can Mandarin orange pieces (about 8oz size can)
one apple peeled, cored, diced
handful of nuts...walnuts were used
Mix well. Store refrigerated.
I couldn't believe how sweet it was without any sugar added.
The woman who made it said the recipe also called for shredded coconut,
but she left it out. We all liked it without the coconut.
Cranberries can be made ahead. It is sugar, cranberries and water.
Not at all hard to make.
The recipe is on every package of fresh cranberries. If you cook it
very slowly rather than boil it, it will jell. If you want whole cranberry
boil
as directed.
=========================================================
Try fresh- My mother in law's recipe is a family staple. Take one bag
of fresh cranberries, 1 WHOLE ORANGE (EXCEPT SEEDS) ,
1 pear WHOLE EXCEPT THE INSIDE SEEDS, a few dates a few nuts
and fruit sugar or regular sugar to taste. Put it all in a blender and get
it finely chopped. It keeps in the frig for up to 2 weeks. We give it as
gifts during the holidays. It gets better as it gets older.

These may not be what you are looking for but my family loves all three
of these cranberry relishes. It depends on who is making them which we
have for Thanksgiving. I always make the chutney to serve on curried cream
cheese at Christmas. The salsa is great with beans and eggs. Believe
it or not salsa and chutney are cooking at this moment.
Cranberry Chutney
12 ounces fresh cranberries
2 Tablespoons chopped candied ginger
1 cup raisins
1 lemon thinly sliced and quartered
1 cup onion thinly sliced and halved

1 teaspoon hot pepper
teaspoon ground cinnamon
teaspoon ground cloves
teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Combine all and cook over medium until cranberries are soft.

This ruby red salsa is an interesting combination of hot and sweet. It is
good with huevos rancheros or breakfast burritos as well as with
Thanksgiving dinner.

minutes until cranberries are soft. Do no stir. Put in a bowl and =
gently add the rest of the ingredients. =20
Cover with plastic wrap putting it directly on the salsa. Chill
