Cranberry Juice Ingredients

Method

Cranberry Juice Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cranberries

    Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any that are damaged or mushy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cranberries

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed cranberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries are soft and have burst.

  3. 3

    Strain the Juice

    Remove the pot from heat. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the cranberry mixture into a large bowl or pitcher. Press the cranberries with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.

  4. 4

    Sweeten the Juice

    Add sugar to the strained juice while it is still warm, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add lemon juice and mix well.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Allow the juice to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice cubes, if desired.
