What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the tart fruit flavor and the body of the punch once chopped and strained.
- Frozen orange juice concentrate
- Adds concentrated sweetness and citrus flavor to balance the tartness of the cranberries.
- Granulated artificial sweetener
- Adds sweetness without sugar, to taste.
The step that matters
Strain through cheesecloth or several thicknesses of nylon net. Cranberry skins and pulp hold fine solids that cloud the liquid. Straining slowly through several layers of fine cloth removes them, leaving a clear, smooth punch.
