All I want is unsweetened dried cranberries to eat...hopefully for less than 10$ a pound..why is it so much cheaper to sweeten them?

I've got a dehydrator, and have successfully dried my own cranberries. I pick them up after Thanksgiving, when they are cheaper and pop them in the freezer until I am ready to dry them.
They dry faster if I blanch them first, it allows the air to go through the skins I was taught. I love having a supply of the dried ones for baking and I am addicted to putting them in my oatmeal.

The price of sweetened cranberries includes all the weight that is added by the sweetener. The sweetener is really cheap; the berries are not.

Contrary I am going to have to try that, thanks.

Sweet/bad for you = cheap..annoying formula
