  • In Today's video I will be showing you how I waterbath can cranberry juice. It's the fastest and easiest way I know how and it requires the very basic of canning supplies. I make a super easy supper with some par-baked items we picked up in Algoma, WI on a recent one night get away. Come along as we live our country life.

    Thanks for the tip on siphoning, I always struggle with this during canning season. I have noticed if I leave the jars a little longer in the canner to cool it does help. However I thought this was a user error and I was doing something wrong. All of your little tips and advice help me more than you can imagine through my everyday life, when it comes to being a mom, in the kitchen cooking, or garden tips. I appreciate all of them!

      Learning from one another is how women passed on knowledge in the village days and it still works today just a little differently using a computer.🫶

    I love the jar lifter, and when we used to heat the flats, I loved the magnetic wand.

    I canned cranberry juice last year using this method and it turned out delicious. I still have a few jars left and I'm going to make homemade gummies for our grandson.

    • @acountrylife

    My mom re uses the cranberries from this canning method for her pineapple upside down cake in place of the cherries. We drink the juice and strain out the cranberries for baking. We do use sugar canning juice this way.

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is a great idea. I was thinking of using them to make a cake or dried cranberries.

    When you said you were going to make cranberry juice I was so surprised at how easy it was. I absolutely love cranberries in any form but in the summer I occasionally like to make a cranberry cocktail. It’s so good and refreshing. Thank you to you and Warren and all of the farmers who work so hard so that we can enjoy the fruits of your labor…pun intended lol

    • @acountrylife

      It's our pleasure to grow them. Cranberry juice with Malibu rum is so good. Add a squeeze of lime. Chef's kiss!

    Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Joe is determined to be 16. I can remember wanting to be older and now I wish I was younger, lol.
    Your cranberry juice looks so good. I canned some last year and I have 11 quarts left, it’s so delicious.
    Dinner looks yummy.
    I hope everyone has a very blessed weekend!

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We already opened one jar and it was just the right strength. I didn’t even think it needed sugar at all.

  • @beccam507
    @beccam507 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yummy! I have a bag of cranberries in my freezer that I haven't used, could I make a juice similar to this by simmering the berries with water and just keep it in the fridge for a few days and use it like that, without canning it?

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They are good for 18 months for sure. As long as the seal hasn't broken they are good longer in my opinion.

    Fun to see some videos but cranberry’s are a fruit that’s a once a year thing for most of us, they only sell them in the fall for a bit. Do people buy and freeze them a lot? Just wondering because you have lots of videos with cakes and desserts too.

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. Many people in my area stock up on cranberries for the freezer to use all year.

  • @lynnarro
    @lynnarro 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Jennifer is there a way to make cranberry juice without putting them in some kind of water bath… If you were going to drink it right away, could you do everything you did but store it in the fridge or does it have to be heat activated?

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It really has to be boiled so the juice comes out. You can always pour boiling water over the cranberries in the jar put lid and ring on, allow to cool and then store in the refrigerator. I’m guessing after 2-4 weeks it would be strong enough to drink.
