Cranberry Juice

1 lb (1/2 kg) cranberries
5 cups (1 1/4) liters water
salt
2 or 3 orange slices (optional)
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar

Wash the cranberries and put them into a nonreactive saucepan with
the water, a pinch of salt and if you wish, the orange slices.
Cook over medium heat until all the berries burst -- about 10
minutes.

Pour the fruit and liquid into a cheesecloth-lined sieve.  Strain
the juice to the saucepan, add the sugar and boil for two or three
minutes.  Taste and add more sugar if it is needed.  Cool and chill
the juice before serving.
