Wild Cranberry and Roasted Garlic Veggie Pâté

Mad Maryno's Note:

This is my version of the popular veggie pâté. Good on bread with hot mustard or on crackers. I made the recipe originally with wild cranberries that I poached for 10 minutes in a heavy syrup, then dried in the dehydrator. But you can use store-bought dried cranberries with no problems.
