Really good. I put a little less sugar as the strawberries help to sweeten it. Would make again. Very easy

I’m thinking of using cranberries, lingonberries, strawberries and dark sweet cherries, with the focus on the cranberries.

I reduced the sugar as well. But I used the juice from half of the orange I used for zest. Added a little cinnamon. I also used fresh cranberries and strawberries..
Turned out great!!! A little more cooking time.
