What each ingredient does

Cranberries
Provide the tart flavor and color, and their pectin helps the juice set softly as it cools.
Sugar
Adds sweetness that balances the tartness and lowers the freezing point so the frappe stays scoopable.

The step that matters

Freeze the mixture until solid. Sugar lowers the freezing point, so the mixture freezes slowly and unevenly, forming ice crystals. Stirring or breaking it up during freezing gives a smoother, more even frozen texture.
