on 11/13/2008 I add crushed pinapple (drain the juice) and also frozen strawberries (thaw and drain the juice as well)

on 11/22/2005 Add brown sugar (to taste) and maple syrup (to taste), lemon and orange juice (squeeze it in do not strain).

on 11/22/2005 Add half an orange and half an apple while you are cooking the cranberries. It will make a smoother and more delicious taste.

on 11/22/2005 Use 1 cup of orange juice instead of water, and don't strain it.
