I'm not sure when or where my mom got this recipe, but everyone loves it when she makes it.  I love the idea of eating the fresh cranberries, so good for you!  I have always loved cranberry juice, so when I tasted this the first time, I fell in love with it.  The recipe calls for a full container of whipped topping, but I suppose you could use1/2 to 3/4 of the container instead to cut back on the calories and make it better for you.  I have tried cutting back the sugar to 1/2 or 3/4 cup instead of the recommended 1 cup, and it makes a huge difference in the taste.  Don't recommend it.
