Ingredients
  

For Classic Cranberry Juice:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Cranberry Orange Juice:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Cranberry Apple Juice:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 cups apple juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

STEP 1: PREPARE THE CRANBERRIES

  • Rinse the cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. If using frozen cranberries, there’s no need to thaw them.

STEP 2: COOK THE CRANBERRIES

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

STEP 3: STRAIN THE JUICE

  • After cooking, remove the pot from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher. Press down on the cranberries to extract as much juice as possible.

STEP 4: ADD FLAVOR

  • For the Classic Cranberry Juice, stir in the sugar and lemon juice until dissolved. For the Cranberry Orange Juice, mix in the orange juice, sugar, and lemon juice. For the Cranberry Apple Juice, combine the apple juice, sugar, and lemon juice. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.

STEP 5: CHILL AND SERVE

  • Refrigerate the juice for a few hours to chill. Serve over ice and enjoy your refreshing cranberry juice!
