    I use a bag of berries, sub the sugar with splenda, use one large or two small navel oranges, , put all in processor, , store in bowl,, fits great in my diabetic/high BP, high cholesterol/allergy diet!! Maybe I will add some cinnamon to some this year for a change! - 11/10/09

    I also do a similar one but even the recipe is too much sugar for me. Yes, cranberries are tart, but I HATE super sweet sides. When I use a half a cup of sugar, it tastes fine and when I bring it to whomever is doing thanksgiving, there is NEVER any leftovers. - 11/12/09

    I really hate it when people list something like this as 18 servings. So what do we do? Set out 18 dishes and try to evenly divide it? Why not say 1 tbs or something? Grrrr. - 3/7/11

    no need to cook - i make a raw recipe (healthier anyways) - 1 bag of berries, 1 orange, including a good amount of the peel "zested" and cinnamon. i use honey instead of sugar. - 11/16/09
