Holiday Cooking--Plumping Cranberries

So I don't forget:
1 cup of hot water
1 cup of whole fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons of sweetblend or 4 tablespoons of truvia
(Alternately retain all the tartness, but eliminate the crunch for cheesecake, etc. by reducing or eliminating the sweetener.)

Heat the water and berries till you hear the first 2 or 3 pop.  Remove from heat and cover for 15-30 minutes.  Stir around in the juice and remove with a slotted spoon, then sprinkle with a little extra sweet blend or just erythritol or xylitol.

These make a great topping, still somewhat tart, but with a little sweet, juiciness added to the fruity flare too.  Gorgeous in cookies because you can leave them whole without anyone getting any too-tart surprises!
