Canning Cranberry Juice

4 12 oz bags cranberries
7 quarts water
(Sugar if you want)

  • 4 — 12 oz bags fresh cranberries
  • 7 Quarts water
  • Sugar (if you want to add it…personally I don’t add)

Clean and rinse cranberries.    Add cranberries to stockpot with 4 quarts water.   Boil for about 10-15 minutes until berries are popped.   Drain them.(I use metal mesh strainers…but you can use cheesecloth also).  Save juice…set aside.  Take drained berries and add them back to pot with 2 quarts of water.   Boil again another 10 minutes or so.   Drain again…setting juice aside.   Take drained berries and add to 1 quart of fresh water.   Boil another 10 minutes.  Drain. Now your cranberries will start loosing color. Add all of your juice that you’ve set aside together into stockpot.  At this point you should have about 7 quarts of juice. read more
