I found a great deal on fresh cranberries. To preserve them I decided to dry them. This is my attempt at making home made sweetened dried cranberries, just like the Ocean Spray Craisins but with less added sugar. I found several methods online but in the end I decided to do the cooked method. The directions I loosely followed can be found here http://healthylivinghowto.com/1/post/2011/12/dried-cranberries-a-pictorial.html There are directions on how to dry cranberries in the oven if you don't have a dehydrator. I love my Nesco SnackMaster food dehydrator.
