So you were able to find cranberries?
Anyway, I know what you mean about chopping the crap in a blender. I had to force feed most of it, and wound up taking a couple nice chunks out of my brew spoon. Hell, making the relish and racking the beer on top of it took way longer than the brew itself.
I racked mine to the keg today. When I cracked the top on my fermenter, all I could smell was oranges. The sample tasted.....interesting. The raspberry and orange is very apparent, but overall it's OK. Finished pretty dry. I think it'll be pretty nice once it's carbed up. Oh yeah....it's nifty pink color, too.
I wish I could have done this with cranberry, but I think it's going to be pretty good as it is.
