Cranberry Juice Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Rinse the Cranberries

   Place the fresh cranberries in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.

2. 2

   Cook the Cranberries

   In a large pot, combine the rinsed cranberries and 4 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the cranberries to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they burst and soften.

4. 4

   Strain the Mixture

   Remove the pot from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the cranberry mixture into a large bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.

5. 5

   Sweeten the Juice

   Return the strained juice to the pot. Add 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

6. 6

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the cranberry juice to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Serve chilled over ice or as desired.
