  1. Combine 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan.

  7. Bring the mixture back to a boil over medium heat.
  8. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup fine farina (cream of wheat or similar) ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking constantly.
  9. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
  10. Pour the cranberry mixture into a medium bowl.
  11. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 3-5 minutes, or until the pudding becomes light pink, fluffy, and has increased in volume.
