== Strategies ==
Cranberry Jam can be quite useful in many scenarios, but preferably when zombies are starting to overwhelm your plants. He can get rid of small zombies like Imps, while depleting a lot of health out of bigger ones. Not only that, but if the player strategizes correctly and destroys some zombies while he is in play, he can poison even more zombies once he is tapped on, which can provide huge aid to your defenses.
However, Cranberry Jam cannot destroy most zombies instantly, so he will need support from attacking plants to control the big zombie waves. Plants that target multiple zombies like Bloomerang or Lightning Reed will be greatly aided by Cranberry Jam, as he will destroy the weak zombies while the rest of the crowd is taken care of by them.
