Adding citrus is a great trick for sweetening oatmeal. The brightness of citrus adds great flavor to the oatmeal. which reduces the need for a bunch of added sugar. It is better to use fresh cranberries more than dried because they 'pop' while they cook, getting their tart juices throughout the porridge and adding great flavor.
