 HN> less than the "recommended" sugar.
 
That is the key to all the variations unless you plan to call it jam
and serve it on breakfast toast (also tasty BTW).

 HN> dried cranberries DO go very well in cookies

And many other things. They are a delight. Roslind and I try to pick
a gallon or two every fall, after the first frost but before heavy
snow buries them. We'll dry half of them and freeze the balance.

There is a small patch in the corner of my back yard that yields a
cup or two. My g'kids usually take care of that harvest. But there
are lots of good patches within a few miles of the city, less
than 20 minutes away by car.
