1
Prepare Cranberries
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any damaged or blemished cranberries.
2
Cook Cranberries
In a large pot, combine the rinsed cranberries and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The cranberries will burst and release their juices.
3
Strain the Mixture
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
4
Sweeten the Juice (Optional)
If desired, add sugar, honey, and lemon juice to the strained juice. Stir well until the sweeteners are fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
5
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cranberry juice for at least 1 hour to chill before serving. Serve over ice if desired, and enjoy your fresh cranberry juice!
