We had this for Christmas dinner and found it so good and refreshing. Changed the receipe to use Splenda and no added sugar other than the cranberries that were canned with sugar. It could be modifed for other fruits we think for other times of the year desserts. Great taste with a little spike for the tastebuds!

Very yummy. I took it to a party and a friend had second helpings. If you can't find fresh or frozen cranberries, then use 2 cans of cranberry sauce.
