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?
Regards,
