- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2019
- End of the holiday season sales can save you SO MUCH money. Sarah bought every bag of frozen fresh cranberries to make homemade cranberry juice concentrate. It will be shelf-stable for 18 months after she preserves the juice through canning.

***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

This was the first video I've watched here and what a joy. We are actually cranberry farmers and I can honestly say I've never heard anyone who's not a cranberry farmer talk about cranberries as thoroughly and with as much love as you did here. I make my own juice, too and you're right the color and flavor is phenomenal. Thank you so much for supporting the cranberry industry.
Our favorite homemade juice is cranberry. I always buy all I can after the holidays. I also mix them with blackberries and make jam.
That is awesome, I'm in Massachusetts right in cranberry country. I may have driven past the bog that these Oceanspray berries grew in
😂
Thanks and your mission to provide such incredible source of foods to the mass, God bless your Orchard in abundance.
Jennifer! I love your channel- A COUNTRY LIFE. I was just there again for your jellied cranberry sauce. I'm getting ready to make it again because it's SOOO GOOD! I've been wanting to try this recipe of Sarah's for some cranberry juice concentrate as well. Here goes!! Thanks for walking us thru the process Sarah. Happy Thanksgiving everybody & God bless 🙏🙏🙏
Sarah, I appreciate you and Kevin and the girls more than words can say, but I wanted to try and say how in just a few ways. I grew up on a homestead for a few years and my mother and grandmother both grew up their whole lives on homesteads, so they taught me a lot. Both of them have passed, but you have, unknowingly, picked up the mantel. I am physically disabled, so haven't been doing a lot of the things I used to, but you have inspired me to do some things and to start a small garden again. You've made a difference in my life and I thank you
We all hope for your good health.
Denise Scull this is beautiful Denise.
"JUST A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT" - BLESSINGS ALL
Wonderful!
I make homemade cranberry sherbet every Thanksgiving , a tradition my grandmother started. I wish I’d paid more attention when my mom and grandmother were canning fruits all summer! I love your channel
That sounds amazing! Do you use any special appliances to make it?
I don't care what nobody say...country people are the most creative individuals on earth.
Sarah, I saw someone use a wooden TV tray, they turned it upside down and used hair ties to hold the four corners to the legs, set a large pot under the cloth and pour in the stuff to drain. I have been using this method since then and I set it on my table and let it drain all night. Works like a charm, I use it for jelly or grape juice.
OMGosh! Thank you! Straining stuff is one of the biggest issues in my kitchen. Great idea!!!
You are very resourceful! I love that in people.
My mum used to make apple jelly like this! If you saw an upturned chair strung with muslin you knew not to touch - makes the jelly cloudy!
One year we got cranberries on sale and made fruit leather in the dehydrator. So good, and it is surprising how little sugar you need for such a tart fruit. Who wouldn't want to have those gorgeous jars in their pantry?
I agree!
good day to you Kevin and Sarah !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead 👨🌾🎥👍✝
Hi, You both are so nice to watch. I admire your vision, practicality, success and most of all your togetherness. Awwwwwww?
I LOVE cranberry juice! Thank you so much for showing how easy this is. I am excited to try this.
Cranberry juice is the only one I drink. I usually buy one container a month. (This might be a tmi, but I only use it to help maintain urinary health) I never thought of making my own. Definitely going to scour the grocery stores next time I'm in town lol. Thanks! Happy New Year!
Loved the canning video. You are a natural in front of the camera. Your voice is pleasant, your presentation is educational and your dimples are to die for!! Keep smiling.
Thank you so much for all you and your husband do to teach step by step. I’m so grateful and appreciative. 😊
My 5 year old just watched this video with me and said can we go to her house and try that juice! Lol I guess we will have to make a batch. Great video as always! Yall have a great day!
For a special occasion mix with 7up or sparkling water for some fizz.
Linda Fisher Great idea. I was in a really fancy restaurant and they offered as a nonalcoholic beverage cranberry juice with tonic water it was really nice.
And tonic water is good for us... bonus!
Try it with Ginger Ale. Not the Canada Dry stuff, some real ginger ale that has a good deal of ginger in it. Good stuff...
Yum!! I will try that!!!
Sarah, you are fantastic! You make it look so simple which inspires people like myself to try something new. Fun, interesting, and with enough information! Thank you
Thanks for letting us know about this. I bought 25 bags for 25 cents each!! Now there are lots of concentrate and lots of cranberry orange preserves in our pantry. So good!!!
Oooooh! Such a great deal! I would save 2 bags to make cranberry-orange-pecan relish. Soooo good! It can be frozen in portions too.
Great info on the juice!
This is such a great idea! Unsweetened and/or low sugar cranberry juice is so expensive by me. This would save so much money. (I drink a lot of cranberry juice. 😂) Thank you!! ❤❤❤
I have so much respect for both of you after watching your last video.
I just have to say I love the expression on your face in the opening to your post. I get like this in the grocery store also...it's like a treasure hunt! Fresh cans are wonderful in so many ways.
Dear Sarah, my favourite tipple is cranberry juice with soda water, ice and lemon slices. I’m going to hunt down that book and those bargain frozen cranberries! I adore the tart taste of the berries and lemon, and it is so good for you too. Another excellent video. I now will not be happy until my pantry is full of gleaming jars.....☺️🥰☺️
I’m going to try this. I love cranberry juice and it’s so good for bladder and kidney health. Thank you for all that you do.
Excellent and it is healthy and you know what the family is drinking.
What an inspiring video. I have never thought of making cranberry concentrate but I will try it now. You are a natural teacher and make it so understandable. I look forward to seeing more of your work. 🤗
Thanks for the video on the cranberry juice concentrate will definitely be given this one a try looks delicious!!
What a smart idea! I never thought of making juice with cranberries. We will definitely try this. 🙂
Great idea. I used up some cranberries in the fridge and made juice to go with Christmas brunch and my son's girlfriend loved it. He bought me more cranberries and I made two gallons of it for them.
Made some last week. Amazing!!!! And I love that you process concentrate. Less jars for the same greatness!
Excellent video. The only thing we do different is we run the whole berries thru our #32 meat grinder then heat the mushed berries on the stove. Just some Food for Thought. Keep on keeping on.
I bought a bunch of cranberries when they were $1 a bag and canned cranberry sauce. I wish I would have saved some to make juice! What a great idea! I will definitely have to do that next year.
Awesome!! Your always a great start to my day. Your upbeat attitude and happy personalty combined with good information gets me in a good frame of mind for the day. :)
Thank you Sarah!! We checked all our stores and here in GA there wasnt much left but we did find about 6 bags! So we will be making concentrate this weekend! I think its a great thing to keep on hand for if anyone isnt feeling well. You can add some ginger to be an aid. Now I know we can have something healthy and lower the sugar!! THank you
Lol. I saw cranberries on clearance at my store and I thought “ great price but what would folks do with them?” Lol. Now I know!!!!! Thanks. I have learned sooooo much from you over time. You are an inspiration to all of us out here in RUclips land....keep the wisdom coming! ✌️💕
Always RUclips everything and someone is doing it. It’s awesome. Sam’s club has the bags for 51 cents right now so I searched to find things to do with them too. Besides smoothies. :)
😂😂😂
What a great idea!!!!! Thanks for sharing. My local grocery store has them on sale. I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
I'm catching up on older videos. I love canning, saving money, myo, & just trying to have a better pantry. Thanks for all y'all share. I may not comment often but I love y'all channel.
Sara, my cranberries are popping as we speak! Great idea! BTW Bone broth in my crockpot ...thanks for that too!!!!! You guys are so sweet to share what you know. God Bless you and your family. Here's to a successful 2019 for us all
I am new to canning. You have been both inspirational and a good instructor. I canned tomatoes and peaches last summer for the first time and nobody has ended up in the emergency room so I am taking that as a good sign. LOL.
I may have to check my grocery stores for cranberries and do this! Awesome! Thank you Sarah! P.S. my 4 year old daughter just loves watching you. Out of all the Homesteading RUclipsrs I watch, you are her favorite! She loves your braids!
Thank you soooo much for this video!! All your videos are so good and useful, and I love love love when you are working on or just showing the homestead. You and your family are awesome in my eyes!! Thank you again for all you do.
WHAT so easy I will be adding this to my canning list of things to do. Thanks again Sarah for another great lesson. Much appreciated
I used to add whole cranberries while making stewed prunes. The tart overcomes the too sweetness of prunes & is just perfect over cottage cheese or yogurt. Thanks so much for this ''how-to'' & on top of that, such a screaming DEAL !!
Good video. Even if you pay more for the cranberries, the health benefits over store bought juice, would be worth it I think.
Now I loved this video and idea! Super great idea and HUGE money savings!!! One thing I do to save even more money and time in instaces like this when taking things from the freezer to either cook for a meal or can like this is I take them out of the freezer usually the night before so they have time to naturally get to room temperature then start the cooking process. Doing that saves me time cooking them on the stove and money spent on gas. Also another way to easier ladle things into my jars I use a glass measuring cup with a handle so in one motion I can see that I have enough amount in the measuring cup and there is a pour spout on the cup. Well Sara I am going to make sure I check out the freezer section of the grocery store this weekend to do this! Such a great idea that I have never thought of nor did I even know how to do! Thanks!!!
It's never too late to come across your videos. This one will probably start me to get canning. We love cranberry juice and this might be the best thing to do to keep a good supply of concentrate in the pantry. Wish me luck and God bless you.
Canning is 1 of the things I'm super excited about once we start to grow our own food. Your videos have made it look so easy and I can't wait to try it
Here in Canada you will never see 50 cents a bag, a few years ago I found them for 95 cents, I went crazy, have never seen it again.. what fun at 50 cents a bag :)
Petra J I’m in Niagara Ontario close to the border. I’m going to try TOPS in NY and see what deals I can get.
Sooo true
I said that when I heard her too. I live in Michigan (US) and they are over $2 a bag. I wanted to cry when she said the price. Lol
I’ve seen them at 4.95 cdn$ importing stuff is crazy.
In Georgia it’s 90 cents where I live.
Good morning Sarah.
Yesterday I canned 15 jars of cranberry sauce and jellies .
I never once thought about making my own cranberry juice, which I buy from the store. 😔
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to head back to town today and see if I can get another case.
Have a wonderful day. 🇨🇦
Isn't it funny the things we don't think of but then the sauce probably has less sugar than the juice. I like having control over my sugar intake.
Awesome. I have never canned juice but that is something I am going to try. I love cranberry juice and to make it myself ....OH YES!! Thanks so much.
Great idea!!! I love it! The heart of a true food preserver!!! TY
I love your ideas and got inspired to make this myself. I already make a cranberry tea, so this takes me to the next level! Anyhow, Publix had cranberries 2 for $1, but we were able to negotiate 4 cases for $.25 EACH bag (24 bags in a case). Talk about nerdy math and great savings!!
We have and are teaching our 10 & 14 yr old preservation and agriculture
That's awesome.
scrapshackfarms 134 you’re educating them far above any institution ever could. God bless your efforts
What a wonderful use of your money and time. The results are gorgeous.❤️
Love it Sarah! We just went to Shetlers yesterday for deals to send to son going back to college! Found some winners!!!
You guys are apart of my morning routine! So bummed when Sunday and Monday come and no new videos from the homestead. Alas, everyone needs a weekend lol. Much love from the Cascades!
We always buy several bags and turn them into sauce. We chop them up, add cinnamon, cloves, anise, black pepper, and sugar. We then let it simmer in the slow cooker several hours and then water bath can it. Sooo much better than textureless tin can cranberry sludge from store.
ArgentOrangeOK interesting recipe!!! Im gonna try that this year!! Love homemade cranberry. I haven’t boughten that canned stuff in over five years. Nasty!!! I make and can my own!!
I'm just seeing this video and comments.. I make my own fresh cranberry sauce but never thought to can it... I haven't bought the store bought stuff in years.
I'm gonna have to try this...
@@5points7019 We can for the following year. One year in a jar lets all those spices set in and blend really well. It goes really well with my wife's lechon on New Year's Eve dinner.
I watched this video years ago and I finally was in the store when Aldi had 99 cent fresh cranberries on sale. I got 8 bags and will be looking for more now!😊
Thank you Sarah for such great videos on cranberries in the new year. Can’t wait to try! 👍❤️
Making cranberry juice while wearing a cranberry colored shirt. Perfect!!
I use a juicer to make a juice for UTI. I put 1 pkg. Of cranberries and a apple and drink it quick. The apple sweetens it without sugar. Its great for UTI. I've had issue with UTI and in 30 min. For me its gone. Just letting anyone that has UTI problems, try this. Thanks Sarah, for showing how to can cranberries!
Angela Hardman thanks
Another thing to use for UTI or getting sick in general is eating fermented foods such as homemade sauerkraut (fresh not canned). The probiotics in them naturally boost your immune system and within minutes I can feel a difference. If you take a couple of spoonfuls every hour or every few hours you will notice a big difference. If you only have pickle juice you can do the same with that and it also works well. Hopefully this gives you another possibility to help you feel better.
@@cathyvincent3510 Got any good recipes? And what kind of container do you use for Sauer kraut?
Kefir milk is another one of those fermented foods with lots of probiotics. It looks and tastes like liquid yogurt, but has way more probiotics than a typical yogurt does.
@@Mrs.Silversmith loved your show!!!!!
OMGoodness I'm going to do this. Thank you Sarah for showing us how to make cranberry concentrate.
I am planning on learning to cans some of my favorite things. The book you mention is one I will purchase. Thanks so much.
I love how they sound like popcorn when boiling. I made my own cranberry sauce the other day. I love cranberries. Great video Sarah. Lots of good info.
I think it's always considerate to share a good find, like leaving a few for another person...its fun to score a good find for sure😊
Thanks for yet another wonderful video !!! Love you guys , take care !!!
My grandmother made grape jelly. She hung the bag of pulp on a broomstick straddles between two kitchen chairs. She would have a second shorter stick in the knot of the bag and would twist and let it set and drain, the twist again. Love your videos.
Great job! I also do the juices method for grapes as well as cranberries! Great delicious choice of fresh fruit juices! Thanks for sharing!
Grapes? Whoa, never thought of that! Great idea!
Do people do the same with oranges? Perhaps also with apples? I guarantee you, there’s nothing better than fresh-made apple juice (although my memory comes from apples being juiced for cider so that could make a difference).
I used to can 100+qts of orange juice a year when we lived in AZ. It was wonderful!
Oh my gracious, what a great idea!!!! I would have never thought of doing that! Thanks!!!
First time watching your channel. I am very pleased to have found you. Canning is something have wanted to do for a while. I choose who I follow based on subject or course and the voice of the individual. You have a smooth tone and it keeps me engaged . Off to binge watch more videos. Blessings to you and yours.
This is a brilliant idea Sarah. We’re not fans of plain cranberry juice (unless there’s someone with a UTI/kidney/bladder issue) but love mixing it with other juices. I will definitely be doing this. So much easier and better for you. You rock my sister from another Mr!! Hehehe Whoop whoop 🙌🏼!!!!! Love, hugs and blessings always ~Lisa
I guess I am the first one here. Good morning and Thank you for the good advice. Never thought of making juice concentrate. Made sauce with them last year.
Are you going to also make a video about the cranberry pulp that you're going to use up in the next couple days? I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I don't do so much but I use the pulp in bakery items and in pork sauces, after freezing. Do that for apples and citruses also.
Lightsobrite
Above was for you. Try freezing cherries after seeding also! Great snack also
My mouth was watering as you tasted that beautiful juice!!! I’m going to check my local store for discounted cranberries tonight! Tks Sarah!
I love cranberries and like you I grab every bag I can get my hands on. I use them in my baking, making cranberry sauce, and mixing with other fruit to make juice. Love your old fashioned ways of doing things took me back to my mama's.
Sarah, you are amazing! How lucky for us that you share your talents and in such a simple way! Because of recently being diagnosed with some health issues I have changed my diet to as all natural as possible and have cut as much sugar from my diet as possible. I have stayed away from store juices because of the sugar, so this is perfect! I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to share this process.... it will bless my life. Thank you, sweet lady 😊
Never thought of doing this. And I love cranberries at Christmas! Will absolutely try this. Cant wait to see what you do with the pulp. I was thinking to give to the chickens but apparently you have something else in mind.
muddyacres ....oh that pulp is valuable :))
Nice sharing your natural and practical of making fresh juice
Awesome Sarah .. You rock .. God Bless You
Even when you add in the cost of the lid, it’s still cheaper than a sale, and we all know homemade tastes so much better! Can’t wait to see what you do with that pulp! Preserves maybe? I keep hoping I will come along some on sale, but so far no luck.
It's that way here too. Even old bannanas on sale are hard to find. Then suddenly we find a whole bag of mangos for .99 cents that's ripe and I put them through the food processor. Freeze in thin layers and fresh fruit sherbet. Great alone or a chunk on my yogurt.
If you use a big measuring cup a 4 cup measuring cup or even a 2 cup measuring cup with handle the ladeling goes way faster
Ya, I do that sometimes.
Wonderful video Sarah, I never even thought to do this, thank you so much!
I just watched this again as I made this when it first came out and didn't write instructions in my little canning book. this juice is WONDERFUL!! Thank you for sharing. My little ones(and big ones😂) get so excited when I bring home cranberries from the store now💖
Wow! What a great idea! I have always dehydrated my end of the season clearance cranberries. I never even thought about juicing them. I didn't get any this year...someone must have bought them all before I got there. I do the same thing if I get there in time. lolol Next year I'll do the juice if someone doesn't beat me to the berries. Much Love
Thanks for the video! You inspire me to do so many new things. My husband and I are close to retirement (17 months to go, but who's counting!) We plan on moving and having a little homestead of our own. I think I'll call us the over the hill homesteaders! Lol Until then I'll keep learning new things through you and Kevin!
I would love to follow your new adventure! I am similar age and am intrigued with self sufficiency!
Enjoy the retirement! I am a student but looking forward to retire already. Luckily in my country we need to work untill 70 year old :(
Nicely done. You have a very pleasant on-air persona and your tips, processes, and hints are wonderful.
That''s one of my favorite canning books! Looks amazing.
So YOU bought them all LOL! We looked for cranberries for a relish recipe at Christmas time. Every store in 4 areas had NONE! Thanks for this video. We will be on alert next year for clearance. We love cranberry juice so we will make some concentrate. We like it mixed with other fruit juice as well.
Good to mix with apples and grapes as they go on sale fairly often in my parts
Makes me want to start growing cranberries! I know there is bog type and high Bush.
Wonder if I could do half cranberry and half black cherry. May have to try this and see how it comes out. Cut back on how much my husband spends on juice. Thank you.
what a GREAT way to use cranberry and when they are on sale at that price you can't go wrong, will give this a try for sure. thank you for sharing
I loved this video and yes I will need more help as my garden grows this year. Which reminds me I need to start buying my canning jars now before they start selling out.! Thank you for this. You explain so well and teach so well! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!FROM LOUISIANA WITH MUCH LOVE 💘 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
I think I would have let them cook in a slow cooker overnight (so you don't have to stand there) and then once cooled put them through a blender to make more juice. I think it would be easier to strain that way too. Love the idea though! I think I will be looking for cranberries on sale now :)
I got the ball canning cookbook for Christmas I can't wait to try all the recipes! I just canned my first batch of turkey broth last night and followed your video! Thanks for all of the amazing content you create!! 😍😍
Thank you for sharing I just saw a deal at Walmart and remembered your video. Going to try it this weekend.
Thanks for this video! I sent my husband to the store and he found our local grocery store had 4 boxes in the back. They were very happy to sell them to us for .25 a bag!!!! I will be set for juice for some time. I cant wait to see what you will be doing with the pulp. Hope you post that soon! Thanks again.
Great find! Believe it or not, but I found that one of the best strainers is a 2 part honey strainer. The bottom strainer is really fine. Makes the first strain go much faster. Then you can strain through cloth if you want it clearer. I use it for broth too. I may have to get another one for my honey. LOL
HeavenScent Homestead not sure what do you mean the “makes the first strain go much safer?”
oops...meant faster. Darn spell check. Thanks for pointing it out.
that would be really good with a mixture of apple juice....I love cranapple juice!!!!!! I enjoy all your videos!!!
Clarence Clark what kind of apple juice do you use? Do you make your own?
I certainly did enjoy this video! I had no idea that you could turn those cranberries into cranberry juice! I will definitely try this! You make it look so easy. Thanks.
That's my favorite canning book too. Nice video.
I bought 20 bags when they went on sale for .99 ..that was a good deal here.
@Lucille Carpenter - I replied to someone else the other night, saying that all the other stores in the area were out except the local Ingles ($1.49 bag) and I was going to go in the morning. Well, I got there and found 16 bags and they had marked them down to 99c each too! I bought all of them. So now I have about 46 bags in the freezer. I use them in my juicing, so if I use half a bag per week, they'll last me the entire year. : )
You could put waxed paper behind the towel to protect the cupboard, if needed.
GKevin Eady , that is exactly what I thought!
I really like the way you used a wooden spoon to hang the juice bag. Great video and idea.
Thank you for sharing. Your videos have a been huge blessing!
