What is Cranberry Juice?

Cranberry juice is a fruit juice made from the cranberry; a small red and extremely sour berry. Cranberry juice has the viscosity of water and is a translucent red color. Sweetened cranberry juice tends to be a lighter red, while less common unsweetened cranberry juice is a darker shade of red. This juice is served as a cold beverage and can be used as a flavoring in some dishes.

Ingredients

cranberry

Cranberries are a red berry, roughly the size of a large blueberry, but with an oblong body. These slow maturing berries grow on vines and are extremely tart and sour. Their skin is shiny and the texture is hard, yet gives and has an almost spongy quality, with seeds in the center. Contrary to popular belief, cranberries do not grow in water, rather the cranberry fields are flooded, a machine loosens them and since these berries float, they rise to the surface of the water and are harvested from the top. Rarely are cranberries eaten as is for enjoyment, due to their intense lip-puckering sensation, but rather have added sugar, whether in juice, or the ever popular Thanksgiving cranberry sauce.
