You are awesome, I am one-handed stroke survivor . I find this method much easier to do. Thank you for showing this method, I was able to do it right away - easy and simple. I hardly subscribe to any uTube channel but I did to yours because it is that simple and easy to follow.
Cranberries just went ON SALE here. I'm really surprised they are already marking the price down. Regular price is $2+ per bag and they are on sale for $1.50 a bag. I got 10 bags! Can't wait to try this. I think I will like this method better than other methods because I will not have to strain the berries out later PLUS with the juice being more concentrated, the jars will not take up as much space in my cabinets. I'm running out of room so whatever space I can is a definite plus. Thanks Toni for posting this!
What a great idea.... and in my opinion, it's not that much more work. And you get a nicer finished product. Glad I saw this before I canned my cranberries!
I learned so much from thid wonderful video Im a young mom & 1st gen homesteader since my parents & grandparents stopped the tradition. and i need these survival skills so thank u so much!
Looks great!! Thanks Toni, I want to try this for a friend who needs to be drinking no sugar cranberry juice. Hopefully I will be able to find cranberries soon.
Thanksgiving is on October 9 in Canada... so the stores are full of all the possible Thanksgiving day feast items NOW...Including cranberries, turkeys apples pumpkins.
Wow, you did such an awesome job. It’s a lot of work, but nice to see all the juice you got from your berries. I did chokecherries like this a couple of years ago when there was a huge amount on the trees that year. This past summer there was hardly any, so I couldn’t get more. Subscribed and looking forward for more of your videos.🥰
Sometimes I'm surprised how much we thing alike. When you were straining the first batch, I said to my husband, "isn't that beautiful, I bet it would be good mixed with ginger ale". Must be our generational connection. My better half said, "or sprite" 😁
I got a lot of inspiration out of this video! I think I might like to whizz-up the cranberries with a hand blender tho, or in the food processor, then simmer it all before straining out the solids... I think we could get more juice / or a more concentrated juice that way
Hi Toni! Just re-watching this again after making cran-orange sauce. I've got 5 bags I just bought on sale & have at least 6-8 more bags in the freezer. So I'm going to try this method. A little more work this way, but I liked what you ended up with much better than other methods. Especially the no sugar! My question is about the foam at the top of the jars. Did you leave it there or scoop it out? Wondering about how it might affect the seals. Thanks- great video!
I really like the way you took the time to show how you processed the cranberry into juice. Even more interested with the stainless steel measuring cup you used to transfer the juice into the jar. Would you mind sharing where it can be purchased.
I made some today. I used 8-12oz pks. I got 22 pints out of them. I used 2 of the spider labels. One is smaller than the other, so it made for easy pressing the berries. The pulp I had left after squeezing all the juice is in my dehydrator, and I will make powder out of it.
Thank you for this video, I love cranberry juice, and I have been looking for a better video on how to make homemade cranberry juice. This is a very easy and better way that I have seen. When you made the juice after it's been waterbath, when you get ready to use it do you mix it with water and a sweetener for making a gallon of juice?
I made some with some cranberry sauce, not the jelly kind, but the real sauce, some water, and a napkin to filter it. I sweetened it with a little bit of maple syrup. First I took the sauce out of the dish it was in, and put it in a water bottle, half full of water, and then I closed the lid and shook it. After that, I grabbed a napkin, a rubber band, and a cup. I slowly poured the liquid into the cup, and let the napkin filter it changing the napkin a few times as well. Then I got a little hot water, and mixed in a 7 second long squeeze of syrup and mixed it until they were combined. Then I stirred it into the juice, and enjoyed it. What do you guys think? Give it a try.
I am planning on doing this too. Went to buy some last Friday and they were all gone. Last time I went to buy some pure cranberry juice it was hard to find and very expensive.
Since this is a concentrate do you add water after opening or do you just drink it as is? If diluted what is the ratio preferred? Thank you in advance.
I found leaving the the berries in to be very messy, and it produces about have the quantity of juice per quart..the taste was stronger removing the berries.
@@HerHomesteadSkills I haven’t tried making juice yet, I was just looking at all the methods. Leaving the berries in the jars looked lazy and took up too much space in the jars. Thank you for the reply. I’ll use your method.
If you added sugar, a little cinnamon and orange juice, do you think the twice boiled cranberries would make a decent cranberry sauce? Or are they just too flavorless at that point?
fresh cranberries are only available here during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays..you should find them in your grocery stores during this time.
ah yes, it's a one gallon size with a very wide opening, unfortunately I never got the lid for it...it came from my mother, I truly can't remember why she gave it to me or where she got it from...but I do find uses for it all the time.
I never tried but I bet you can...Cranberries are loaded with natural pectin and the first thing I would try is just to boil and reduce one of these quart jars until it jells and that would likely work...I suspect that you would want to add sugar though. If that doesn't work or you want a larger quantity then you can purchase a box of pectin and follow the instructions.
don't know but worth a try with a small batch, I suspect you will have better results with the blueberries and blackberries, not so much with the strawberries!
Hi, I am pretty new to canning and I have only pressure canned so far. Will you please tell me if this is shelf stable and if so, the approximate shelf life? Thanks 😊
I am going to do this as soon as we get cranberries, I think I will get a bottle of welchs no sugar added grape juice to mix with it when I drink it, to sweeten I love crangrape 😂 thanks God bless
No you can just pour boiling water over them in a jar, seal and water bath can..but then you have berries to deal with too. ua-cam.com/video/1IPRYebdvVU/v-deo.html
@@HerHomesteadSkills I got them really cheap last year, at Costco, too. Last year, I just happened on them but this year I specifically looked for them. Both times, right after Thanksgiving! I’m going to look again after the American Thanksgiving and again after Christmas. I live near a business Center but have to travel a bit to get to a regular outlet. My juice is made. It didn’t all fit in the canner but I didn’t have enough to run another batch so I froze the extra into large ice cubes. They will nicely flavour ginger ale!
I tried this the way you did it but, I found it not concentrated enough for my liking. I think I will not do the second cooking with the three quarts of water. I think using less water will work better for me.
I absolutely LOVE cranberry juice, well, at least the cranberry grape, & cranberry cherry. We have 12.54 acres down here in Southeastern Oklahoma. Once we actually get onto our property, I will definitely be planting cranberry bushes. I will definitely be making homemade cranberry juices. We also have a UA-cam channel. Please check it out. We're just getting it back off from the ground after moving down here from Michigan.
Hi @faithfirstfarmhomestead3386 I checked out your channel, and wish you all the success in the world, both with the channel and your new property..they are likely both going to be tons of work, but if you are up for it, and persevere you will do great!
@@HerHomesteadSkills Thank you very much! 😊 Yes, it's definitely going to be tons of work, but I'm excited to get started. I'll be posting plenty of videos of our progress. Thank you for checking it out, and for the encouraging words. ❤
Words, cranberries and no sugar really caught my eye? 5 bags cranberries, 3 qt water in each pot? I wonder about adding 1 peeled apple to each pot, not striving for clear liquid but natural sugar. 10 min water bath .
3min 30sec in and I'm convinced she has not turned the heat on. How much drivel can one person produce? So I'm off to find someone who can make concentrated cranberry juice.
I can't believe you did all that work for such a small difference. I bet you never do it this way again. Such a mess to clean up too. I also love eating the berries that are in my 'easily canned' juice as well and would miss that. I add a bit of lemon juice and or orange juice with a dash of salt to bring out the flavor. I water bath for 25 minutes by choice because I am starting with raw berries. I think it brings out more of the flavor and gets a really deep color. Even after just a few days I am enjoying the juice and berries. I add a 1/4 cup of sugar to a quart. Each 12 ounce bag of berries you buy at the store will make 2 quarts. In an afternoon I put up 28 quarts.
Thanks so much for sharing, I have Bladder Cancer and my Dr. suggests I drink this. Finding 100% organic is not easy

You are awesome sauce! Thank you for the coffee filter idea too. I don't have any, but that is a great idea to substitute with.
Thanks so much!

Thank you I made cranberry juice last year and used my steam juicer I think I will try your way this year .
If I had a steam juicer I would try that too...I just don't have room for any more kitchen stuff.
Beautiful, I've ordered 24 lbs. frozen cranberries I'll be trying this out for sure, Thank You Dear
great!
Thank you for the recipe I have my cranberry fruit tree here. Thank you for sharing.
enjoy!
Hi Toni - that is some wonderful looking cranberry juice - beautiful colour.
Yes I thought so too!
Thank you Toni. I want to do this.I will start watching for the cranberries in Tennessee.
Hope you enjoy
Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try this!
I believe there were six bags!
Thank you!! 💕

My question is about the foam at the top of the jars. Did you leave it there or scoop it out? Wondering about how it might affect the seals. Thanks- great video!
If the foam is substantial, scooping some of it out is fine, otherwise you just need a clean rim and seals and they should seal just fine.
My daughter is very interested in trying this
Thanks for sharing :)
Glad to hear that
Thank you, I’ll be making this when cranberries go on sale. 😁❤️🌹
I wish ours went on sale...
That looks great! I’m going to try this! Thank you for sharing!👍🏻💖
Learned so many things with your video. Thanks!
Awesome video! I’d like to try this myself now!
we have two seasons/holidays were cranberries are plentiful, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Looks great I am gonna make this tomorrow ❤
Great!
Thanks for this video I was looking for a low sugar cranberry juice
I really like the way you took the time to show how you processed the cranberry into juice. Even more interested with the stainless steel measuring cup you used to transfer the juice into the jar. Would you mind sharing where it can be purchased.
It was a barbecue basting cup and brush set. I eventually inherited both for the kitchen.
From your description, I was able to purchase the cup set from Amazon. Thank you
The juice looks so pretty! I bet it will be quite tasty as well! I think I’d be up for making some myself! Thanks Toni!
Thank You!
That looks GREAT! I might give it a try. Thanks for sharing my cast iron friend
awesome!!!
Wow! Thank you for showing how this is done. I love cranberry juice and I cant wait to try this!
Hope you enjoy
I made some today. I used 8-12oz pks. I got 22 pints out of them. I used 2 of the spider labels. One is smaller than the other, so it made for easy pressing the berries. The pulp I had left after squeezing all the juice is in my dehydrator, and I will make powder out of it.
Aldi here has the 12 oz bags for .99 cents.
Awesome!
Thank you... im going to try this. One other thing... i absolutly love your ladle you use to scoop out the juice , where did you get it?
It's part of a barque and brush set!
Excellant
Thank you!
Looks delicious. Can i do the same with frozen cranberries?
I suspect so!
Curious...could you dehydrate the berries and add to your tea drink? Beautiful
Sure can!

When you made the juice after it's been waterbath, when you get ready to use it do you mix it with water and a sweetener for making a gallon of juice?

How long can we store the cranberry juice? I would love to try this as I am a huge no sugar added fan!
If you water bath can it, it should be shelf stable for at least 18 months.
Thanks for sharing! Does the juice gel from pectin? I need to make it concentrated and liquid with no sugar.
No the juice does not jel.
That was fascinating and I learned something new. Thank you. Could you use the same process for making apple juice?
I believe you can! I never tried tho!
Very interesting! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks!
Thank you so very much!!!!
Since this is a concentrate do you add water after opening or do you just drink it as is? If diluted what is the ratio preferred? Thank you in advance.
I might add another liquid...perhaps just lots of ice, I have mixed with ginger ale in the past too!
Great! How do you store the bottles? In Frig?
no, I water bath canned them and they were made shelf stable.
Like your recipe. Have you taste compared with juice made with berries left in?
I found leaving the the berries in to be very messy, and it produces about have the quantity of juice per quart..the taste was stronger removing the berries.

fresh cranberries are only available here during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays..you should find them in your grocery stores during this time.
May we ask where you found that big, beautiful jar?
ah yes, it's a one gallon size with a very wide opening, unfortunately I never got the lid for it...it came from my mother, I truly can't remember why she gave it to me or where she got it from...but I do find uses for it all the time.
So how was the juice? Was the extra time & effort worth it?
Yes, It was and as you can imagine it was NOT sweet...I do drink it watered down, but can also add some ginger ale to sweeten if I choose to do so.
Can u tell me what does ginger ale do to it @@HerHomesteadSkills
is it possible to make jellied sauce from the juice? Could you explain how?
I never tried but I bet you can...Cranberries are loaded with natural pectin and the first thing I would try is just to boil and reduce one of these quart jars until it jells and that would likely work...I suspect that you would want to add sugar though.

Hi, I am pretty new to canning and I have only pressure canned so far.
Will you please tell me if this is shelf stable and if so, the approximate shelf life? Thanks 😊
If it has been properly processed and sealed, I would have no issue storing it for two years!
Ok. Thank you so much for your quick response and for your wonderful videos. Stay safe! ❤
I am so ready for fresh cranberries! Cook up and make a sauce to serve with pork chops or ham mixed with a little horseradish.
I am going to do this as soon as we get cranberries, I think I will get a bottle of welchs no sugar added grape juice to mix with it when I drink it, to sweeten I love crangrape 😂 thanks God bless
Great idea!
❤❤❤🕊️
Thank you!
What size bags did you purchase?
I believe they were 12oz bags.
It's always a pleasure to learn new skills.
Do you have to cook them . Because if you cook them lots of vitamin like vitamin C will totally go . Can you use liquidizer than strain them ?
No you can just pour boiling water over them in a jar, seal and water bath can..but then you have berries to deal with too. ua-cam.com/video/1IPRYebdvVU/v-deo.html
Hey Toni…I’m just starting to try this cranberry juice and wondered how big your bags of cranberries were. Costco had a sale…$1.00/2lb bag
can't remember, but those bags cost me $2.50 and they normally are $2.95 so yours sounds like a great price!

@@HerHomesteadSkillsI prefer this method over the lazy one also. I don’t want to lose any of it.
Sorry, but I definitely wouldn't want to use the method that you are. That is a lot of sugar 😬
Cranberries are so beneficial, but not that way.
