Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

This was the first video I've watched here and what a joy. We are actually cranberry farmers and I can honestly say I've never heard anyone who's not a cranberry farmer talk about cranberries as thoroughly and with as much love as you did here. I make my own juice, too and you're right the color and flavor is phenomenal. Thank you so much for supporting the cranberry industry.
Our favorite homemade juice is cranberry. I always buy all I can after the holidays. I also mix them with blackberries and make jam.
That is awesome, I'm in Massachusetts right in cranberry country. I may have driven past the bog that these Oceanspray berries grew in
😂
Thanks and your mission to provide such incredible source of foods to the mass, God bless your Orchard in abundance.
Jennifer! I love your channel- A COUNTRY LIFE. I was just there again for your jellied cranberry sauce. I'm getting ready to make it again because it's SOOO GOOD! I've been wanting to try this recipe of Sarah's for some cranberry juice concentrate as well. Here goes!! Thanks for walking us thru the process Sarah. Happy Thanksgiving everybody & God bless 🙏🙏🙏
Sarah, I appreciate you and Kevin and the girls more than words can say, but I wanted to try and say how in just a few ways. I grew up on a homestead for a few years and my mother and grandmother both grew up their whole lives on homesteads, so they taught me a lot. Both of them have passed, but you have, unknowingly, picked up the mantel. I am physically disabled, so haven't been doing a lot of the things I used to, but you have inspired me to do some things and to start a small garden again. You've made a difference in my life and I thank you
We all hope for your good health.
Denise Scull this is beautiful Denise.
"JUST A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT" - BLESSINGS ALL
Wonderful!
I make homemade cranberry sherbet every Thanksgiving , a tradition my grandmother started. I wish I’d paid more attention when my mom and grandmother were canning fruits all summer! I love your channel
That sounds amazing! Do you use any special appliances to make it?
I don't care what nobody say...country people are the most creative individuals on earth.
One year we got cranberries on sale and made fruit leather in the dehydrator. So good, and it is surprising how little sugar you need for such a tart fruit. Who wouldn't want to have those gorgeous jars in their pantry?
I agree!
This is so clever! We squeeze and freeze lemon juice from our tree to make homemade lemonade concentrate. Never thought to do cranberry! Thank you!
Sarah, I saw someone use a wooden TV tray, they turned it upside down and used hair ties to hold the four corners to the legs, set a large pot under the cloth and pour in the stuff to drain. I have been using this method since then and I set it on my table and let it drain all night. Works like a charm, I use it for jelly or grape juice.
OMGosh! Thank you! Straining stuff is one of the biggest issues in my kitchen. Great idea!!!
You are very resourceful! I love that in people.
My mum used to make apple jelly like this! If you saw an upturned chair strung with muslin you knew not to touch - makes the jelly cloudy!
Here in Canada you will never see 50 cents a bag, a few years ago I found them for 95 cents, I went crazy, have never seen it again.. what fun at 50 cents a bag :)
Petra J I’m in Niagara Ontario close to the border. I’m going to try TOPS in NY and see what deals I can get.
Sooo true
I said that when I heard her too. I live in Michigan (US) and they are over $2 a bag. I wanted to cry when she said the price. Lol
I’ve seen them at 4.95 cdn$ importing stuff is crazy.
In Georgia it’s 90 cents where I live.
For a special occasion mix with 7up or sparkling water for some fizz.
Linda Fisher Great idea. I was in a really fancy restaurant and they offered as a nonalcoholic beverage cranberry juice with tonic water it was really nice.
And tonic water is good for us... bonus!
Try it with Ginger Ale. Not the Canada Dry stuff, some real ginger ale that has a good deal of ginger in it. Good stuff...
Yum!! I will try that!!!
I watched this video years ago and I finally was in the store when Aldi had 99 cent fresh cranberries on sale. I got 8 bags and will be looking for more now!😊
Making cranberry juice while wearing a cranberry colored shirt. Perfect!!
Hello Sarah, I did this very thing last year. Most stores near me were selling cranberries for around $4.00 a bag. I found that our Aldi store had them on sale for .89 a bag. I bought all they had also. I was so excited to be able to can my own cranberry sauce and still have enough left for juice. I keep a bottle in my fridge most of the time, it's so refreshing.
I use a juicer to make a juice for UTI. I put 1 pkg. Of cranberries and a apple and drink it quick. The apple sweetens it without sugar. Its great for UTI. I've had issue with UTI and in 30 min. For me its gone. Just letting anyone that has UTI problems, try this. Thanks Sarah, for showing how to can cranberries!
Angela Hardman thanks
Another thing to use for UTI or getting sick in general is eating fermented foods such as homemade sauerkraut (fresh not canned). The probiotics in them naturally boost your immune system and within minutes I can feel a difference. If you take a couple of spoonfuls every hour or every few hours you will notice a big difference. If you only have pickle juice you can do the same with that and it also works well. Hopefully this gives you another possibility to help you feel better.
@@cathyvincent3510 Got any good recipes? And what kind of container do you use for Sauer kraut?
Kefir milk is another one of those fermented foods with lots of probiotics. It looks and tastes like liquid yogurt, but has way more probiotics than a typical yogurt does.
@@Mrs.Silversmith loved your show!!!!!
My grandmother has cranberry bushes. She picked all hers and washed them. Then she tossed them in a blender and made a fine slurry and put them in pot. It saved her from standing there cooking that mixture a long time. Then she canned the juice. She'd use the paste to make cranberry bread without a ton of chunks so it was smooth.
We always buy several bags and turn them into sauce. We chop them up, add cinnamon, cloves, anise, black pepper, and sugar. We then let it simmer in the slow cooker several hours and then water bath can it. Sooo much better than textureless tin can cranberry sludge from store.
ArgentOrangeOK interesting recipe!!! Im gonna try that this year!! Love homemade cranberry. I haven’t boughten that canned stuff in over five years. Nasty!!! I make and can my own!!
I'm just seeing this video and comments.. I make my own fresh cranberry sauce but never thought to can it... I haven't bought the store bought stuff in years.
I'm gonna have to try this...
@@5points7019 We can for the following year. One year in a jar lets all those spices set in and blend really well. It goes really well with my wife's lechon on New Year's Eve dinner.
Thanks for letting us know about this. I bought 25 bags for 25 cents each!! Now there are lots of concentrate and lots of cranberry orange preserves in our pantry. So good!!!
My 5 year old just watched this video with me and said can we go to her house and try that juice! Lol I guess we will have to make a batch. Great video as always! Yall have a great day!
You are one smart gal . I got so much cranberries from CSR and I just froze them and used them for recipes and chutney but didn’t think of Juice or maybe I thought this would be impossible. Your kidneys are thankful for the effort.
Cranberry juice is the only one I drink. I usually buy one container a month. (This might be a tmi, but I only use it to help maintain urinary health) I never thought of making my own. Definitely going to scour the grocery stores next time I'm in town lol. Thanks! Happy New Year!
Sarah, buy a 5 gallon paint strainer at the paint store. Turn it so the sewn seam is outside and cut off the tag. Wash it before use. Place the paint strainer in the pot with the stretch seam around top of the pot. Pour the juice into the strainer and pull strainer and pull out of pot. Drain juice from paint strainer by spinning strainer tight or place in collander.
We have and are teaching our 10 & 14 yr old preservation and agriculture
That's awesome.
scrapshackfarms 134 you’re educating them far above any institution ever could. God bless your efforts
I have so much respect for both of you after watching your last video.
Lol. I saw cranberries on clearance at my store and I thought “ great price but what would folks do with them?” Lol. Now I know!!!!! Thanks. I have learned sooooo much from you over time. You are an inspiration to all of us out here in TH-cam land....keep the wisdom coming! ✌️💕
Always TH-cam everything and someone is doing it. It’s awesome. Sam’s club has the bags for 51 cents right now so I searched to find things to do with them too. Besides smoothies. :)
😂😂😂
Hi, You both are so nice to watch. I admire your vision, practicality, success and most of all your togetherness. Awwwwwww?
I think it's always considerate to share a good find, like leaving a few for another person...its fun to score a good find for sure😊
Love it Sarah! We just went to Shetlers yesterday for deals to send to son going back to college! Found some winners!!!
I love your ideas and got inspired to make this myself. I already make a cranberry tea, so this takes me to the next level! Anyhow, Publix had cranberries 2 for $1, but we were able to negotiate 4 cases for $.25 EACH bag (24 bags in a case). Talk about nerdy math and great savings!!
My grandmother made grape jelly. She hung the bag of pulp on a broomstick straddles between two kitchen chairs. She would have a second shorter stick in the knot of the bag and would twist and let it set and drain, the twist again. Love your videos.
This is such a great idea! Unsweetened and/or low sugar cranberry juice is so expensive by me. This would save so much money. (I drink a lot of cranberry juice. 😂) Thank you!! ❤❤❤
Great idea. I used up some cranberries in the fridge and made juice to go with Christmas brunch and my son's girlfriend loved it. He bought me more cranberries and I made two gallons of it for them.
Good morning Sarah.
Yesterday I canned 15 jars of cranberry sauce and jellies .
I never once thought about making my own cranberry juice, which I buy from the store. 😔
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to head back to town today and see if I can get another case.
Have a wonderful day. 🇨🇦
Isn't it funny the things we don't think of but then the sauce probably has less sugar than the juice. I like having control over my sugar intake.
This makes me want to run to the grocery store to see if there are any cranberries. Who knew it was so easy!?
Dear Sarah, my favourite tipple is cranberry juice with soda water, ice and lemon slices. I’m going to hunt down that book and those bargain frozen cranberries! I adore the tart taste of the berries and lemon, and it is so good for you too. Another excellent video. I now will not be happy until my pantry is full of gleaming jars.....☺️🥰☺️
I freeze my for a year and cook a half gallon per large bag and use a hand blender to puree them after they've popped open. I use no sugar and add some to water or kombuchi. Great for curing bladder or kidney infection. Love the shows.
I bought a bunch of cranberries when they were $1 a bag and canned cranberry sauce. I wish I would have saved some to make juice! What a great idea! I will definitely have to do that next year.
I've done it this way for years. I would dry the pulp for muffins and wild rice stuffing. Last year I stared putting 10 berries in a pint jar with water. I found with the concentrate my husband was drinking it straight and we went through too many jars. Now when he grabs a pint, he's getting a more realistic serving.
I am new to canning. You have been both inspirational and a good instructor. I canned tomatoes and peaches last summer for the first time and nobody has ended up in the emergency room so I am taking that as a good sign. LOL.
That cran concentrate plus pure lemon juice & tbsp of apple cider vinegar is my morning cleanse. Drinking it hot on a cold morning sounds even better.
Fresh cranberries is my dressing base for fruit salad.
If you use a big measuring cup a 4 cup measuring cup or even a 2 cup measuring cup with handle the ladeling goes way faster
Ya, I do that sometimes.
I love that you can add the sugar right before you mix it to drink. My husband is diabetic & I'm borderline, so I need to use something other than sugar to sweeten things. I'll have to try this sometime.
I may have to check my grocery stores for cranberries and do this! Awesome! Thank you Sarah! P.S. my 4 year old daughter just loves watching you. Out of all the Homesteading TH-camrs I watch, you are her favorite! She loves your braids!
I used to make all kinds of juice when my kids were little. Now I’ll have to get back to it!!
I LOVE cranberry juice! Thank you so much for showing how easy this is. I am excited to try this.
I am 60 years old, back in the day when I was a child, my mom would do this with alot of fruit, we had 2 fruit tress of almost everyhing in the yard, I loved the rhubarb or fruit Jelly and of course she made this type of juice and I grew up on it, we never had store bought juice.
Are you going to also make a video about the cranberry pulp that you're going to use up in the next couple days? I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I don't do so much but I use the pulp in bakery items and in pork sauces, after freezing. Do that for apples and citruses also.
Lightsobrite
Above was for you. Try freezing cherries after seeding also! Great snack also
Excellent score nothing better than saving money except for doing it with high quality product
Excellent video. The only thing we do different is we run the whole berries thru our #32 meat grinder then heat the mushed berries on the stove. Just some Food for Thought. Keep on keeping on.
Yum, lot of work though. I usually make cranberry jam at Thanksgiving or right after, it doesn't last long though. We like the skin and the pulp so I don't strain it. Sometimes I squiz an orange or 2 and zest them as well even lemon zest....really yummy.
I’m going to try this. I love cranberry juice and it’s so good for bladder and kidney health. Thank you for all that you do.
I hang tomatoes, berries for wine, etx over a 5 gal bucket to drain, tomatoes especially to make sauces, paste, ketchup, etc. Cuts down cooking time and no long simmer times to cook off the water. 😍
Oooooh! Such a great deal! I would save 2 bags to make cranberry-orange-pecan relish. Soooo good! It can be frozen in portions too.
Great info on the juice!
No it's not complicated. I'm 63 and been making juice and canning friuts and veggies and meat for years. Good video.
Sarah, you are amazing! How lucky for us that you share your talents and in such a simple way! Because of recently being diagnosed with some health issues I have changed my diet to as all natural as possible and have cut as much sugar from my diet as possible. I have stayed away from store juices because of the sugar, so this is perfect! I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to share this process.... it will bless my life. Thank you, sweet lady 😊
Thank you so much, I quit fruit juices from the store, now I can make my own.
One of my favorite jellies for gifting is jalapeño cranberry. Everyone thinks I am gourmet, but I'm really just frugal. Just follow your favorite cranberry jelly recipe measurements, first having simmered 10 jalapeños in the cranberry juice. Most recipes suggest removing seeds and inner membranes, but not enough heat for us that way so I remove stems and just slice in half lengthwise. Of course you strain before canning. Makes a lovely, deceptive pink jelly that packs a punch!
I love making cranberry juice. We get cases of cranberries for under $10 Canadian here ... at discount produce stores. I found if you did a first wire mesh strain... then ran the batch through a cloth it sped up the process. That pulp leftover I used with some sugar and made fruit roll ups. I can't wait to see what you did with your pulp.
what a GREAT way to use cranberry and when they are on sale at that price you can't go wrong, will give this a try for sure. thank you for sharing
I do a similar process, not to make juice for drinking but for the first step for making cranberry and port jelly ( in England we use it for an accompaniment to roast poultry eg, chicken, turkey, duck even roast pork)
The pulp that’s left is then made into Christmas chutney which is fantastic with cheese or gammon ham (cold cut)
We do that in the US also :).
How do you make the cranberry sauce with the chunks in it. I didn't think I'd like it till I tried it and I liked it. Chutney sounds great too.
Cherrie Mckinstry
No the jelly is a clear deep purple set jelly. I include some freshly pulped and juiced Bramley Apple juice with the sugar in the final jelly process so there’s a lot of pectin - no gelatine is used and there’s a good set. The port is added near the end before putting it in the jars. Unlike the USA, the British jam making process does not include a bottling water bath in the process for jam or jelly making.
The chutney recipe I use is one from Mary Berry the British cooking doyenne.
Thanks
@@elizabethprior4968 that is good to know as I know people used to do it w/o a canning bath though some items that don't have sugar, acidic, or salt are not as stable with out a canning bath.
EXCELLENT BUY! I do this as well. I also do mine in a juicer. If you like to have a cocktail now and then crush the berries, juice, save the pulp. I freeze a tsp. Pulp in ice cube trays with a couple drops lemon juice and fill rest with water...freeze. The drink is called Sea Breeze. 1 shot vodka over your frozen berry pulp cubes then add liquid cran juice. You can also do a Virgin Sea....no booze. At the grocery wher I work we gather up crans that don't sell and make an Orange Jello with Mandarin oranges for fruit salad desert. Sells like crazy.
My Dad would say you were "living high on the Bog!"
Ouch! Lol
@@lindasmith6202 In Texas, it's high on the hog. :)
Maybe Bog, don't know where they live :)
Your dad is a gem!
@@megatexification cranberries grow in a bog
I don't make juice but love cranberries all year so buy 2 to 4 bags each time I shop, from time they are first available till end of year. I always have some in my frig.
Now I loved this video and idea! Super great idea and HUGE money savings!!! One thing I do to save even more money and time in instaces like this when taking things from the freezer to either cook for a meal or can like this is I take them out of the freezer usually the night before so they have time to naturally get to room temperature then start the cooking process. Doing that saves me time cooking them on the stove and money spent on gas. Also another way to easier ladle things into my jars I use a glass measuring cup with a handle so in one motion I can see that I have enough amount in the measuring cup and there is a pour spout on the cup. Well Sara I am going to make sure I check out the freezer section of the grocery store this weekend to do this! Such a great idea that I have never thought of nor did I even know how to do! Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful posting and you saved a lot of money. 🙏🏼❤️👍8
I think I would have let them cook in a slow cooker overnight (so you don't have to stand there) and then once cooled put them through a blender to make more juice. I think it would be easier to strain that way too. Love the idea though! I think I will be looking for cranberries on sale now :)
Thank you for sharing I just saw a deal at Walmart and remembered your video. Going to try it this weekend.
My mom puts a broom top of 2 chairs (backside facing the other backside and the broom is on top) and she hangs the towel with the pulp on it, the pot is between the two chairs on the floor.
I was going to comment that this is how we used to strain elderberries. I guess a lot of moms have two chairs and a broom. ;)
@@J3rs3yM1k3 Hahaha! Yes! Moms are great at every corner of the world! :D
Last year I snagged about 12 bags of crannberries for 10 cents each. I had never used frest crannberries before this but I learned to make many recipes with them. If I ever see a great deal again I will buy double that.
What if you ran it threw the thing that you make tomato sauce with then run it threw the strainer then the cloth.
Having grown up with the Washington State SW West Coast corner with growing cranberry bogs on the Long Beach peninsula, we continually were given permission by the cranberry producers to work with the "scraps" coming out of the harvesting, washing, selecting, and bagging of Ocean Spray cranberries. A lot of work (and bleach) to wash out the massive soil, stems, and leaves on the berries. Wash and float out the whole and intact rejected berries (small, super large, not so red), then further bleach and take the whole intact (no broken) berries. 10 gallons of sludge and berries from the cranberry bog wooden bins (2 - 5 gallon buckets) would provide up to 10 pounds of berries. Then freeze for later use, or use a juice steamer for cranberry juice. Using an apple sauce food mill, you can press and puree the remaining pulp as cranberry butter. All is totally organic and healthy.
Having also assisted in working new cranberry stems into the bog soils with a flat hoe, you started new patches in the bog bald spots by pushing the stems into the bog and they would self-root. A totally enjoyable process. Later in the post-harvest season (or early spring season) you would go out and using a cranberry bog mower, you would comb the cranberry plants (like your hair brush) and clip off the plants stems to a specified length (1 1/2 feet). The mown stems would then be gathered up - and sold off to the Ocean Spray corporation cranberry bog growers for more and newer installed cranberry bogs. Once having driven across Wisconsin I was shocked to see and understand that Wisconsin has MASSIVE !!! floating cranberry shorelines along their lakes - like a West Coast red tide! - bigger than what could see considered Canadian wild rice regions. Cranberries from Maine, Wisconsin, and Washington state coming to you. Cranberries are vastly interesting and a very healthy food.
You could put waxed paper behind the towel to protect the cupboard, if needed.
GKevin Eady , that is exactly what I thought!
FYI Excuse if this has been posted before. When you put a strainer over and you have that smaller loop on the strainer that is across from the handle, stick a wooden spoon handle through and
and onto the outside of the pot to keep the strainer more stationary.
Thanks for the video! You inspire me to do so many new things. My husband and I are close to retirement (17 months to go, but who's counting!) We plan on moving and having a little homestead of our own. I think I'll call us the over the hill homesteaders! Lol Until then I'll keep learning new things through you and Kevin!
I would love to follow your new adventure! I am similar age and am intrigued with self sufficiency!
Enjoy the retirement! I am a student but looking forward to retire already. Luckily in my country we need to work untill 70 year old :(
I'm a huge fan of cranberry sauce. So last year I bought a lot of fresh cranberries and then made cranberry sauce and then canned it. Some I added walnuts to. Amazing. Now I can have homemade cranberry sauce all year long. Thanks for all you do and may our God continue to bless you and your family.
I love how they sound like popcorn when boiling. I made my own cranberry sauce the other day. I love cranberries. Great video Sarah. Lots of good info.
good day to you Kevin and Sarah !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead 👨🌾🎥👍✝
Never thought of doing this. And I love cranberries at Christmas! Will absolutely try this. Cant wait to see what you do with the pulp. I was thinking to give to the chickens but apparently you have something else in mind.
muddyacres ....oh that pulp is valuable :))
INSPIRED... I found your video at the right time. What a blessing! NW Wis here. I proceeded to get a 24 qt. stock pot. Then Walmart had Cranberries on sale for $1.50 a bag. Inspired by this video, I bought 15 bags of FRESH Wisconsin Cranberries. The results were amazing. I just spent the past two days on this project. 18 Pints of Cranberry Juice Concentrate. 14 Pints of Cranberry Jam/Sauce. [ I could only find Navel Oranges, so i used 2 and added 4 Limes.] Just a note, I bought and used 2 Nut Milk bags--the Nylon ones. They worked SO WELL, especially for twisting and squeezing. Then, they washed out clean. Thank you again. Bless your efforts. Enjoying your other videos.
Great job! I also do the juices method for grapes as well as cranberries! Great delicious choice of fresh fruit juices! Thanks for sharing!
Grapes? Whoa, never thought of that! Great idea!
Do people do the same with oranges? Perhaps also with apples? I guarantee you, there’s nothing better than fresh-made apple juice (although my memory comes from apples being juiced for cider so that could make a difference).
I used to can 100+qts of orange juice a year when we lived in AZ. It was wonderful!
I did the same thing buying the bags out. Now I know what else to do besides adding to my smoothies. Blessings.
You guys are apart of my morning routine! So bummed when Sunday and Monday come and no new videos from the homestead. Alas, everyone needs a weekend lol. Much love from the Cascades!
Why in the world do people give thumbs down. ? Its a great video as they all are thank you for the idea.
Even when you add in the cost of the lid, it’s still cheaper than a sale, and we all know homemade tastes so much better! Can’t wait to see what you do with that pulp! Preserves maybe? I keep hoping I will come along some on sale, but so far no luck.
It's that way here too. Even old bannanas on sale are hard to find. Then suddenly we find a whole bag of mangos for .99 cents that's ripe and I put them through the food processor. Freeze in thin layers and fresh fruit sherbet. Great alone or a chunk on my yogurt.
I just have to say I love the expression on your face in the opening to your post. I get like this in the grocery store also...it's like a treasure hunt! Fresh cans are wonderful in so many ways.
next time you could do a first strain w/out the tea towel, then do the second strain with a tea towel
Tracy Bruring good idea may add extra step but cut the time in half ⏳⌛️💡⏰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thats what I was thinking. First strain through the strainer, then a second strain though the cloth. I was also thinking why not push down the pulp so some of the flesh gets into the concentrate. I'd think it might boost the antioxidant value up.
Loved the canning video. You are a natural in front of the camera. Your voice is pleasant, your presentation is educational and your dimples are to die for!! Keep smiling.
I bought 20 bags when they went on sale for .99 ..that was a good deal here.
@Lucille Carpenter - I replied to someone else the other night, saying that all the other stores in the area were out except the local Ingles ($1.49 bag) and I was going to go in the morning. Well, I got there and found 16 bags and they had marked them down to 99c each too! I bought all of them. So now I have about 46 bags in the freezer. I use them in my juicing, so if I use half a bag per week, they'll last me the entire year. : )
I add the sweetened cranberry juice to my iced tea .... Good stuff. I buy 12 bags a season and make 1 bag at a time through the year.
I don't buy frozen cranberries. I get the fresh ones right after Christmas. Then I either freeze them or DH them
Great video. I drink cranberry juice because of my kidneys. I have made my own cranberry sauce, but never thought to make my own cranberry juice. Thanks. Have a Blessed and Wonderful Day!
Wonder if I could do half cranberry and half black cherry. May have to try this and see how it comes out. Cut back on how much my husband spends on juice. Thank you.
I'm impressed. I recently tried to make cranberry juice from fresh berries and WHAT A MESS!! Everything was red!!
I'd add a length of wax paper between the cupboards and the tea towel. But extremely interesting. I've only made the cranberry sauce with sugar.
Good idea
You should try adding a cinnamon stick and orange peel. During cooking then remove before continuing. The added flavor is fabulous.
I do add grated orange peel and the orange juice, plus cinnamon stick and nutmeg. I just kept my comment short. It is fabulous. I need to go look for cranberries today.
Never thought to add orange juice to it I will have to try that but I don’t grate my peel I just add it whole and remove when done cooking .
@@lynnmasoner7627 yeah why waste the orange. I might eat a few sections but the majority gets squeezed in the sauce while preparing.
I love making cranberry lemon chicken, it's so yummy. They caramelize on top and at the bottom of the baking pan oh yes so yummy. I sliced lemons and use dried cranberries.
Oh my gracious, what a great idea!!!! I would have never thought of doing that! Thanks!!!
Thank you, for staying true to your channel, and not becoming reality tv or big brother on TH-cam. Awesome video!
There are lots of family owned cranberry bogs near me who sell their cranberries to Ocean Spray. Most people think they grow in huge commercial locations. It is great to know that some of these family cranberry bogs have been owned and run for well over 100 years. A few that I know, have been run by the ssme families for OVER 200 years. They live in New England style colonial houses next to the bogs. Just an interesting thing is that back in the early 1800s when ships travelled around the world ...to the exotic corners of the world...the spice islands, silks from india and the orient ..then there were whaling ships. All by sail like schooners and packets and clipper ships. They were 3 or 4 year voyages- from the time they left, until returning. The Cape Cod and New England sailors, who were built small, and thin and wirey....but they were more sought after as crew members than any of the much bigher, taller, stronger, strapping, powerful men that came from elsewhere. The Cape sailors were healthier, and more of them survived the illnesses that others succumbed to. You see, everyone around here on Cape Cod, had cranberries. Theyvused them in many ways...fresh, juiced. Cranberry jelly, sauces, etc. But, they also took the very last of them, and dried them, making their own sweet treats, that today we call "craisins." That's cranberries that are dried to be like raisins. Yankees never wasted. This was long before refrigeration, Freezing, and the like. So the kids jobs (everyone worked) was to harvest the last of the cranberries. The families would dry them and eat them like raisins. That was the sweet treats that the enjoyed all winter. Well, when the sailors left, they would be away for 3 or 4 years. So they brought huge sacks of dried cranberries with them when they boarded. It was their sweet treat, like candy, and a reminder of home during a long journey. Amazingly, they provided the only source of vitamin C onboard, and as the sailors enjoyed chewing on a few every night, they were like little vitamin bombs filled with vitamins, micronutrients and antioxidants. It's not that they wouldn't share, but they could be a little tart and some sailors had never eaten them. Plus. No one knew the incredible health and medicinal benefits that were packed on those tiny treats. Anyway, many other sailors perished from disease. The ship Captains chose these much smaller men from Cape Cod and Massachusetts because they were somehow immune and survived better than the larger stronger men from elsewhere. Today we know that it was the cranberries. One of the most widespread, prevalent among the diseases, was Scurvy, caused by a vitamin C deficiency. They weren't immune, they ate dried cranberries!
My family farm used to be contracted by Kellogg for their cereal. Almost all of the big corps use smaller farms for their products. Its much cheaper that way. We stopped supplying Kellogg due to contract reasons, but my folks are still farming away and someday I will inherit and continue on farming. Tyson is the only company that comes to mind at the moment for being a corporate grower and producer. And we have all heard how their birds are treated. When we had livestock they were big spoiled babies that were nearly family. We stopped growing livestock just because it was so hard to sell them off for butcher. I'd love to get a few milking goats and one or two cows that have long spoiled lives. Even after they stop producing.
This is awesome , A huge money saver 3 bucks easy for a jug at store and would prefer making from scratch fun and a savings . Thank you
So YOU bought them all LOL! We looked for cranberries for a relish recipe at Christmas time. Every store in 4 areas had NONE! Thanks for this video. We will be on alert next year for clearance. We love cranberry juice so we will make some concentrate. We like it mixed with other fruit juice as well.
Good to mix with apples and grapes as they go on sale fairly often in my parts
Makes me want to start growing cranberries! I know there is bog type and high Bush.
I love cranberries, and I always get extra during Thanksgiving and keep in the freezer. Whenever I like, I make hot or cold juice to drink. It's great to keep under hand. Great for kidney stones and infections. Just love it ♥️❤️🌹 🌹
I was thinking the whole time watching this I wonder if your tomato juicer, the red one, would work to seperate the juice from the pulp. Hmmm
It looks delicious. Your shirt even matches the cranberries.
