Cranberry Juice Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Rinse the Cranberries

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

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

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

3. 3

   Simmer the Mixture

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

4. 4

   Strain the Juice

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

5. 5

   Add Sweeteners

   Stir in the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the strained cranberry juice. Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity as desired.

6. 6

   Chill and Serve

   Let the juice cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a pitcher and refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice or as desired.
