RE: Cranberry Juice Drink - Lori's Cookbook
Hey, @viking-ventures.
I really like cranberry juice, so I'll need to try this one of these days. I was wondering at the beginning how you would get to the juice and wasn't expecting a steeping effect. Guess I should have. I'm more into the consumption rather than how cranberries are prepared.
They are tart, though, so a little can go a long way. It's amazing how many things cranberries can show up in, though, and either make or break the flavor.
I'm glad to see we're not the only ones who drink juice from jam jars, since that's pretty much what was in them. Somehow, we've managed a small collection. They're not vintage, though. :)
Thanks for stopping by.
I confess that I was also surprised about how easy it would be to make this drink - and with using the berries themselves in the bread (or something else), there's no waste, like there is with other kinds of juice.
The rebel canners that I got this from also used it for grapes. I'd expect you could use it with lots of different fruits including the red currants that @trincowski was talking about.
It's very useful to do the juice this way since cranberries are only really available this time of year, so I make my juice, my sauce and my winter cold medicine (which I didn't photograph this year...)
I remember those jam jars from when I was little and was delighted to find them again - and doubly excited when I found out they had a good collector's value. I'm not selling them though - will just keep collecting (especially as there are other versions that I recognize now...)
