For 60 people, I would get about 8 pounds of the smooth jelly and then make a fresh cranberry relish or jello for those that like chunky. Or else get about 10 cans plain and 8 cans whole berry, but don't open all ahead of time!

For cranberry relish recipes, go to southernfoods.about.com and search on cranberry relish. Dozens of great choices.

This is a popular question for a popular dish. I recommend 40 pounds of potatoes per 100 persons, so you want 30. You know to use baking potatoes, not red/new, for that creamy scalloped potato texture we all love.
