I love this, but I make mine fresh. Just pulse the cranberries in a processor, add sugar and pulse again. remove and add to cubed pears with spices. Cubed apples can be added. It is optional, but I love to add a jigger of cherry brandy to this. Since this is fresh. it is best if made only one day in advance. I discovered this when I was eating raw, but it has survived the raw diet's demise because it is so good.
