|
 |
4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
3 quarts water, divided
1-3/4 cups sugar
1 cup orange juice
2/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup red-hot candies
12 whole cloves
In a Dutch oven or large kettle, combine cranberries and 1 qt. water. Cook over
medium heat until the berries pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Strain
through a fine strainer, pressing mixture with a spoon; discard skins. Return
cranberry pulp and juice to the pan. Stir in the sugar, juices, red-hots and
remaining water. Place cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth. Bring up
corners of cloth and tie with kitchen string to form a bag; add to juice mixture.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir until sugar and red-hots are dissolved. Remove
from the heat. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Discard spice
bag. Serve drink warm or cold.
Yield: 3 quarts.
