"You can use any dried fruit in place of the cranberries, I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it would be good."

Followed the directions -- very easy to make. My kids loved them and they didn't last long in our house. Thanks!

These are great! I soaked the cranberries overnight in OJ, and added 1 tblsp. OJ concentrate, and left out the lemon rind. My kids love them! Thanks for the posting.

Very tasty. These turned out moist and light. I used half sugar and half Splenda. I am going to make again using dried cherries instead of cranberries. Made for Fall 2007 PAC.
