Cranberry Juice Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Rinse the Cranberries

   Start by rinsing the fresh cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large pot, combine the rinsed cranberries, 4 cups of water, and 1 cup of sugar.

3. 3

   Boil the Mixture

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and softened.

5. 5

   Strain the Juice

   After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to separate the juice from the solids.

6. 6

   Add Lemon Juice

   Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the strained cranberry juice for added flavor.

7. 7

   Cool and Store

   Let the juice cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a bottle or jar and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
