bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 oF.

Place cranberry mixture and 3 tablespoons water in a food processor or
blender, and process 1 minute or until smooth. Set aside.

Combine crumbs and butter in a small bowl, and stir well. Firmly pack
mixture into bottom of a 9 inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.

chocolate mixture, and beat at medium speed until smooth. Add eggs and egg
