These look great and the grape jelly version has been a family favorite at Christmas for probably 40 years so I am excited to try them. I didn't see any cranberry in the list of ingredients and wondered if it was somehow omitted.

So sorry I forgot to add the cranberries to the ingredient list. I updated the recipe to include one cup of fresh or frozen cranberries.
