If you want a small berry that hasn't had its flavour ruined by overbreeding, try the elderberry.
Cranberries clearly named after bitter cranks. Maybe someone forgot a stroke on dried-up-old-Granberry? Either way the name is perfect.
Much the way the undisputed winner of tallow vs. lard vs. margarine is duck fat, the best pie is elderberry pie, and it's not even close.
Much the same way your cruddy lunch hour half-assed tweet is the one that goes viral, much the same way truly beautiful women never get photographed for the internet, if a food tastes too good it dramatically harms the fame and popularity.

Cranberries make a good raisin replacement. Especially since modern raisin producers can't be bothered to remove the stems from grapes. Elderberries supposedly have to be boiled to remove toxins so can't be simply dried and raisined.
