Tincture of cranberry or lingonberry - homemade preserves
Berries are valued for a particularly large amount of vitamin C.
In the kitchen, we most often use cranberries for preserves, jellies, juices and jellies.

Juice and fruit extract are used, among others, in the treatment of urinary tract diseases, gallstones, as a medicine to lower blood pressure.
Before preparing the tincture, defrost the cranberries and... do not defrost them!
We grind the frozen cranberries in a meat grinder or blend them. Such fragmentation of the cranberry fruit has a positive effect on the maceration, color and taste of the tincture.
