Cranberry Juice Recipe

Ingredients  

• 4 cups fresh cranberries (16 ounces)
• 1 cinnamon stick optional
• 1 gallon water divided
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup raw honey

Instructions 

1. Add: Rinse the cranberries in a colander under running water. To the inner pot of Instant Pot, add cranberries, cinnamon and ½ gallon of filtered water.
2. Cook: Close the lid and set the safety valve to sealing position. Press “Manual” and reduce time to 8 minutes.
3. Strain: After cooking time has finished, turn off Instant Pot by pressing “Cancel” and allow to naturally release pressure. When the safety pin has dropped and it is safe to do so, carefully open the Instant Pot. Strain the cranberry juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove the cranberry pulp and cinnamon stick.
4. Sweeten: Add remaining water and stir to cool slightly. Stir in honey and lemon jucie. Enjoy as a hot cider or chilled with ice. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice and sprig of mint or fresh rosemary.
