Why We Love This Cranberry Apple Orange Juice Recipe
The juice from cranberries is notoriously tart. Which is why most cranberry juices have a ton of added sweetener—to balance out the sourness of the cranberry. That is unless you pick up a sugar-free version, in which case you’re either consuming stevia (yuck) or a sugar alcohol like Splenda (unhealthy).
This gluten-free cranberry apple juice recipe has no added sweetener (not even brown sugar). Instead, the sweetness comes from the natural sugars in the apple, orange and pear. But these delicious fruits do more than just sweeten and enhance the flavor of the beverage.
