Description
Cranberry — good berry fruit drink. Everybody knows it, and everybody loves juice. But not everyone understands how best to cook the juice. The word "optimal" I mean the best balance of time, resources and outcome. Yes, many people just do not realize what generally miserable miser you can cook a wonderful full bodied juice. So, it's simple: the products will need cranberries, water and sugar. Of the utensils you will need three pans, a colander with large holes, a mesh strainer and a pestle. Time? — 20 minutes for everything, including breaks to watch TV or do anything. It may seem that the ratio of water and cranberry too great! — nevertheless, it is true. Don't listen to anyone who says cranberries have to take 1 to 4 or even 1 to 2. The correct method and at the ratio of 1 to 10 will give you the savings and taste. The final color of the juice — here is the photo of the glass. And the method itself — here it is, below.

Cooking
I usually take 250 grams of cranberry and 2.5 liters of water. Yes, that's right — 1 to 10! It makes 2.5 litres of a saturated Morse, which I often breed even stronger when used. Of 2.0 litres (i.e. 1 to 8) is quite too hard and royally.
Washed cranberries laid in a colander set over some capacity. Forest debris, of course, necessary to remove the entire. But such thin branches, similar to the wire, you can ignore and not tear away from the berries. The photo with the colander holes with a diameter of 4 mm.
Further, cranberry chokes with a potato masher (for example, hardwood, as in the photo). In the process of a stampede, there are two biomass: one remains in the colander, she's from bagasse; the other in a container under the colander from cranberry pulp.
Here is the biomass of cranberry pulp. Here and seeds and all inside the cranberry. From such a pulp can be done do not have juice, just cranberry with sugar, and then add it as a jam for anything. But in this case it is, of course, will go to the Morse.
Most of the necessary water — about 1.5 liters — put to boil in a large pot on the fire. The pan should be large, with the expectation of the entire volume of 2.5 liters, it will be ready later Morse. The remaining volume of about 1.0 liter — fill biomass from bagasse and to put on the fire (not to be confused — it is from the oil cake and pulp). That is, all cakes need to scrape from the colander to the pot, pour the raw water and boil for 10-12 minutes.
After 10 minutes of cooking the compote cake need to pour through the colander into biomass from the pulp. Here is the photo I have already strained, and at the bottom of the colander remains boiled cakes. They are so digested that they can boldly and ruthlessly throw it in the trash.
Basically, here's what is now on photo bucket, it has enough juice! Who is not fastidious, it is cranberry's nothing more to do, and just pour it all in a large pot with boiling water and add sugar. But I don't like it, and I have the cranberry is second filter!
For the second filter I use here is microcourse diameter holes in 1.5 mm. so that is the cross section of the holes provides the necessary filtering. Smaller not — shut up. Larger not — seeds get through.
So, the main pot of barely boiling water through this microcourse I poured the ladle's contents to the main solution. Seeds of doubt immediately clog these tiny holes, and in order to was passed, it along the bottom of the colander poelozit spoon. In the end, with 250 grams of cranberry is even here is such a slap useful waste. Whom pity is all throw, you can immediately this bitter-sour mix to eat with spoons. But the Morse without it would be much, much better. Therefore, the double filtration is still worth the bother. Pour the sugar and stir, it's ready!!!
I have indicated a ratio of 4/5 — so, 4 weight parts sugar to 5 parts cranberry. In my opinion, at least. That is, less - so very sweet. But it all depends on the bitterness and ripe cranberries. So, after you put in the pot the required minimum, try the juice and it may be that the sugar will want to add. High sugar — 1/1. More — well, quite so sweet, even if the cranberries are bitter and not very ripe.
What else? For example, in a pan with imiami you can put five or six sticks of cloves and boil all together with her. The same method can be used to cook a compote of black and red currants. From lingon, though, in my opinion, this berry can find a little better use. Bilberries, too, so you can cook, but she has really delicate skin and so perhaps this method is redundant. Raspberry is possible, only if all costenita. Whether to apply the double filtering? well, it's up to you to decide in the place. In principle, it is possible and without it. But I will say it again: with dual filtration much, much better!!!
