Cranberry Juice Recipe

Juicing 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, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and softened.

3. 3

   Strain the Mixture

   Once the cranberries are cooked, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the juice into a large bowl or pitcher. Press down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.

4. 4

   Sweeten the Juice

   Return the strained juice to the pot and add sugar and lemon juice. Stir well over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.

5. 5

   Add Optional Flavor

   If desired, stir in the orange zest for an additional layer of flavor.

6. 6

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the juice to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice or as a refreshing drink on its own.
