Anyone have experience with making cranberry juice to can. So I need a little help with making the juice. After following directions. My juice is cloudy and I strained out this thick pulp.
Do I have to start all over?
Thanks

Cranberries have a lot of pectin so that thickened pulp is to be expected. Did your recipe say to strain it through a cheesecloth? If you have access to a steam juicer, that may result in a clearer, more beverage-like product. The cloudiness can be a result of pressing the juice through the strainer (rather than let it strain naturally). I know when making jelly, they say not to press or squeeze or the juice will make a cloudy jelly.
