I have leftover frozen cranberries from the holidays although it states to use fresh the frozen seemed to work fine, this tastes like cranberry sauce only in the form of a soup, loved it thanks for sharing Syd!

What a wonderful blend of flavours! And a fantastic recipe for really hot weather - both to make and to enjoy. Minimal effort and so, so delicious. I was unable to get hold of fresh cranberries so used frozen cranberries and I used my favourite creamy Greek yoghurt on top. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Sydney! Made for PRMR.
