Cranberries are a delicious superfood with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. The fermentation process provides beneficial probiotics with lots of good bacteria. It’s good for the digestion and boosts immunity. I love this and always make extra so that I can eat it for months. It’s great on yogurt, turkey wraps or just by itself. Kids love it too, so delicious!

Notes
To Make Whey;
- 32 oz Full Fat Plain Organic Yogurt
- Cheesecloth
Line a large bowl with cheesecloth, add the yogurt, gather the ends of the cloth and secure with twine or a rubber band to a hook or cabinet. Let hang for about 12 hours or until dripping stops. Pour the liquid (whey) into a glass jar, label with a 6-month expiration date. Yields about 1 cup of whey. Eat the resulting cream cheese! Questions, comments, and shares are welcomed.
