Crazy for Cranberries Juice

Cranberries seem to be filling the produce aisle more than ever this time of year. They get me excited because cranberries in general remind me of the holidays. I enjoyed quite a few for my Thanksgiving meal when I made this kale salad with fresh cranberries instead of dried ones, and when I decorate my apartment this weekend I will be adding fresh cranberries and holly to mason jars filled with water and a floating candle for a touch of festive cheer.

Whatever you are doing with cranberries this season, hopefully you’ll save yourself some to add to this tart, sweet, beautiful juice!

Cranberries not only make salads, decorative pieces, and juices pretty to look at, but they make you feel good too.
