OMG, this is outstanding! I made it today to get a jump on the things that can be done early for Christmas dinner. It's true cranberry flavor thats mellowed a bit with the vanilla but I should say that the vanilla does lessen once out of the ice cream maker. For the juice I used 3 Meyer lemons which gave me a perfect 1/2 cup. Used 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of Splenda to help lower the sugar content some. This is ideal for the holiday season but I'll be making it through out the year and it has been added to my Favorites of 2012 cookbook. It's a beautiful color too. :D

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
