Cranberry Juice Recipe

Juicing Process

1. 1

   Prepare the Cranberries

   Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any damaged or soft cranberries.

2. 2

   Cook the Cranberries

   In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed cranberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and soften.

3. 3

   Strain the Mixture

   After the cranberries have cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher. Press down on the cranberry pulp to extract as much juice as possible.

4. 4

   Sweeten the Juice

   While the juice is still warm, stir in the sugar until fully dissolved. Taste the juice and adjust sweetness as desired. If the juice is too tart, add more sugar to taste.

5. 5

   Add Lemon Juice

   Stir in the lemon juice to enhance the flavor and balance the tartness of the cranberry juice.

6. 6

   Chill and Serve

   Transfer the cranberry juice to a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate until chilled. Serve the juice over ice or enjoy it straight from the fridge.
