Frozen cranberry juice

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cranberry juice from frozen berries at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Cranberries must first be thawed at room temperature. Take filtered or bottled water for a tastier drink.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse thawed berries under cold running water. Place the berries in a sieve and let the water drain.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next you need to mash the cranberries. This can be done in two ways - either with a blender or a wooden pestle. The first method is faster, the second method preserves vitamins better. I came across a rather hard variety of cranberry, so the pestle didn’t take it, I used a blender.

4. STEP 4

   

   Now you need to squeeze the juice out of the minted cranberries. To do this, take gauze, fold it in several layers and squeeze out the juice in small portions. Be careful, the gauze may burst if the pressure is too strong, it will take a long time to wash the kitchen (based on personal experience).

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the resulting juice in the refrigerator.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the remaining cake in a saucepan, cover with cold water and put on fire. Add sugar and stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bring to a boil and cook for one minute, no more. Leave the pan with the future fruit drink to cool.

8. STEP 8

   

   The cooled fruit drink must be strained. It can be done through a sieve, or through gauze.

9. STEP 9

   

   All that remains is to mix the boiled base with fresh juice. Our berry juice is ready. Can be served.

Lately I kept asking my husband to buy cranberry juice, but he advised me to make it myself so that it would be more natural). I found a recipe for cranberry juice made from frozen berries on the website and set about preparing a vitamin drink. I took 150 g of cranberries, washed the berries, defrosted them and pureed them in a blender. I squeezed the juice through cheesecloth carefully, according to the author’s advice, so as not to clean the kitchen). I boiled the squeezes for one minute and after cooling, strained them through a fine strainer. Then she poured in the raw juice and stirred. The taste of the fruit drink was very rich, the taste of berries was pronounced. Sugar compensates for the acidity of cranberries, but I would still add another spoon) Everyone has different tastes, so you need to focus on your own. The color of the fruit drink is also thick and bright, very beautiful. And most importantly, it is a healing, healthy drink! Thank you very much for the recipe!
