Making Your Own Sugar Free Dried Cranberries And Cranberry Juice.
A few days ago I found cranberries on sale at Aldi food store for 15 cents a bag. So I bought a box of 25 of them. My plan is to dry some, freeze some, and give some to my mother.. When I announced my victorious results on my Facebook page my friends wondered how I was able to do that. So without further ado, this is how it's done.1 bag of whole fresh cranberries (2 or 3 cups)
8 cups water
1 c. Splenda or the sweetener of your choice.
1. Empty the cranberries into a large pot
2. Pour the Splenda into the pot.
3. Pour the water into the pot and mix.
4. Cook until the berries burst and mash slightly with a potato masher.
5. Remove from the heat.
6. Put a fine mesh strainer on top of a larger pitcher or another pot.
7. Slowly pour the the berries and juice through the strainer until they are separated..
8. Dry the cranberries on a fruit roll up tray in a dehydrator or on a cookie sheet in an oven at 170 degrees for 12 to 24 hours.
9. Refrigerate the juice.
