Fermented Honey Cranberries
3 cups Fresh cranberries
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or juice of 1 large orange
2 cups Raw honey
1 quart-size glass jar, sterilized
Steps:
Wash cranberries. Drain and set aside to dry. You can also use a clean kitchen towel to thoroughly dry them.
Crush cranberries manually or with a food processor. ( In this video, I smashed the berries with a large knife first then carefully chopped them.)
Add cranberries in a glass jar.
Add lemon juice.
Add raw honey.
Gently mix with a wooden chopstick to combine cranberries & honey and also eliminate air bubbles.
Loosely close the lid and place on a dish in a dark place to ferment.
Small bubbles will start to form in a few days to a week which indicate fermentation is happening. This process may last a couple of weeks to a month or so.
Every 1-2 days, close the lid tightly and turn the jar a few times to make sure all cranberries are thoroughly mixed with honey. Then loosen the lid again and allow it to ferment more. Do so during the first 2 -3 weeks.
You can enjoy it in 2 weeks but it tastes better after 1-2 months.
Store in a cool dark place ( e.g. pantry) for up to a year.
