I haven't got a food processor, and I didn't add the apples because they
tend to upset my stomach.

I haven't seen the cranberry for years, and I have looked for it. I used to
buy it when I lived in Cape Cod, but haven't seen it since. And I think I
did go to the Kraft website, but not for a while. I will look there again
though.

I might try that. I've tried fizzy stuff in Jell-O before and really didn't
notice much difference. Don't think I ever used Seltzer though.
