| I have an elderly neighbor and she told me that she buy the cranberrys in the bag and boil them and drink the juice.
She adds a little sugar and that is it. She drinks that in the wintertime. Anybody else do that? Is that something to try?? |

| I've never done that, but I've heard that cranberries are good for you. Maybe it's the vitamin C? Does she have a reason for drinking it? |

| Don't know. She say it's healthy and good for your bladder and kidneys. I drink the juice, like ocean spray, but not like this. Mayby i should try it. |

| Well, that's pretty much how you make cranberry sauce so it sounds like she's just drinking the "sauce" minus the berries (and maybe not adding that much sugar). |

| Try it! It is good for you. Or you can buy it in the juice section, but if you make your own you might be able to cut the sugar. |

| Or----- you could just buy the cranberry tablets at your grocery store which prevent bladder infections, and take one a day, drinking lots of water.... |

| The commercial brands have a lot of sugar and other stuff in them, preservatives and such. I'd think her way would be healthier. Warning, though, without all that sugar, cranberry juice is very tart. |
