[Sca-cooks] Cranberry substitute

[Carol Smith]

You're after the astringent note of cranberries; look for something with tannins in it.  Most berries won't qualify.  Grapes have it but are much too sweet for this purpose.  Perhaps a homemade red wine jelly, though, might work, especially if you can do it with very little sugar.  I've never tried, so I don't know if it's possible.  Gunther, any opinions?
