Something you can make with cranberry juice
Origin
Cranberries are native to North America and have been used by Native Americans for centuries. They grow on low, trailing vines in sandy bogs and marshes. The juice is typically made by crushing and pressing the cranberries, extracting their liquid. Cranberry juice has been consumed for its tart and refreshing flavor, as well as its potential health benefits, such as promoting urinary tract health.
