Cranberries are incredibly bitter to the average palette. While they have a distinct taste, they need sugar to balance out the bitterness enough to enjoy it.
Grapes have the opposite problem. If you've ever wondered why there isn't grape ice cream (long shot!), it is because all of the flavor in a grape is in its skin. The center is a generic, unidentifiable "sweet". That's great for juices, where other fruits can add taste, but bad for ice cream. Grape skins don't do well in ice cream—the texture freaks people out.

- IIAOPSW 11y agoIn my experience, if you put grapes in the freezer they come out with the approximately the same texture as icecream. So if you really want to know what grape icecream would taste like there's an easy way to find out.
