which reminds me... the wonders of food processing technology mean
that most dried fruits are actually cranberries.
apparently they are very cheap to produce in bulk, last forever,
have a chewy "dried-fruit" texture and can be cheaply injected with
colour and flavour to taste/look like dried blueberries or
raspberries or whatever. and maybe they're subsidised, too :-)
Various jams and fruit preserves (made mostly in the EU, from what I
can see) in the local supermarket which trumpet "no added sugar" on
the label are actually sweetened with grape juice concentrate.
