Preparation
- 1
Juicing the Fruits
Begin by washing all the fruits thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Cut the oranges in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. Collect the juice in a large bowl.

Preparing Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into quarters. If you prefer a smoother juice, you can peel the tomatoes, but this is optional. Place the tomato quarters into a blender.

Preparing Cranberries
If using fresh cranberries, rinse them under running water. If using dried cranberries, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to rehydrate. Add the cranberries to the blender with the tomatoes.

Preparing Apples
Wash the apples, remove the core, and cut them into quarters. Add the apple pieces to the blender with the tomatoes and cranberries.
