Cranberry Juice
Klyukvennyi Mors
A refreshing cold drink which is also good mulled.
Ingredients
Makes about 1½ pints (900 ml)
1 lb (450 g) cranberries
1½ pints (900 ml) water
8 oz (225 g) sugar
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest of half a lemon, in a long spiral
Method
Rinse the cranberries. Place them in a large saucepan with the water and bring to the boil. Boil for about 5 minutes or until the skins have burst.
Meanwhile, line a colander with muslin. When the cranberries have burst, strain the juice through the colander, letting it drip into a bowl for a few minutes. Then gently press the berries to extract the remaining juice.
If a very clear juice is desired, strain once again through clean muslin. Return the juice to a clean saucepan and bring to the boil with the sugar. Simmer for just a minute or two, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Leave to cool. When the juice has cooled, stir in the lemon juice and the lemon spiral. Chill and serve.
