Canned jelly cranberry sauce is no quite as tacky as putting ketchup on spaghetti (or ketchup on chicken … or ketchup on anything) but to a lot of people the Ocean Spray can of cranberry that leaves marks from the can is downright low-class.

For all you canned jelly cranberry sauce lovers (aka right-minded humans) – here’s how to get the whole can out in one easy piece.
