Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe cranberries. Look for plump, deep-red berries that are not bruised or soft.
  • Wash the cranberries thoroughly. Rinse them under cold water and pick out any stems or leaves.
  • Use a food processor or blender to juice the cranberries. This is the quickest and easiest way to get the juice out of the berries.
  • Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve. This will remove any pulp or seeds from the juice.
  • Add sugar or honey to the juice to taste. Cranberry juice is naturally tart, so you may want to add a little sweetener to make it more palatable.
  • Enjoy the cranberry juice fresh or refrigerate it for later. Cranberry juice will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
