Fermentation will not start

I brewed up a batch of mead with cranberry juice concentrate. After seeing that the yeast hasn't started (4 days after pitching it), I've realized that the cranberry juice concentrate has perservatives in it. Is there any way that I can get yeast to start fermenting in spite of the perservatives? Or should I just bite the bullet, and throw everything out?
