Cranberry Juice Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Rinse the Cranberries

   In a colander, rinse the fresh cranberries under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients in a Pot

   In a large pot, combine 4 cups of rinsed cranberries and 4 cups of water.

3. 3

   Boil the Mixture

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to burst.

4. 4

   Strain the Juice

   After the cranberries have burst, remove the pot from heat. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher to separate the juice from the solids.

5. 5

   Sweeten the Juice

   Add 1 cup of sugar to the strained juice while it's still warm. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.

6. 6

   Add Lemon Juice

   Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to enhance the flavor of the cranberry juice.

7. 7

   Cool and Serve

   Let the juice cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it until chilled. Serve over ice or adjust sweetness to taste before serving.
