Cranberry Juice Recipe

Cranberry Juice Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cranberries

   Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water, removing any stems or damaged berries.

2. 2

   Cook the Cranberries

   In a large pot, combine the rinsed cranberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and softened.

3. 3

   Strain the Mixture

   Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a large bowl, pressing the cranberries to extract as much juice as possible.

4. 4

   Sweeten the Juice

   Stir in the sugar, lemon juice, and salt into the strained juice until the sugar is dissolved. Adjust to taste.

5. 5

   Cool and Serve

   Let the juice cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice or as desired.
