Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cranberries

    Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cranberries

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

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the cranberries burst and soften.

  4. 4

    Strain the Juice

    Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.

  5. 5

    Sweeten the Juice

    Add sugar and lemon juice to the strained juice while it’s still warm, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the juice until chilled. Serve over ice if desired.
