When using frozen cranberries, you don’t need to add any extra water. This will give more sweetness to your cranberries.
IF using fresh ones use only 1-2 tablespoon water along with sweetener.  
If you want a barely sweetened cranberries follow this method.
You can interchange nuts, go for walnuts or pistachios.
