Health and fertility benefits of Garnet Punch

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb fresh or frozen cranberries (6 cups; thawed if frozen)
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
4 1/2 cups water
1 (750-ml) bottle vodka (3 cups)
Garnish: fresh rosemary sprigs (leaves stripped except for top 1 inch)

Instructions

Simmer cranberries, sugar, rosemary, and water in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have burst and are very soft and liquid is slightly syrupy, about 30 minutes.
Pour syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, gently stirring cranberries but not pressing on them, then discard berries. Chill syrup, uncovered, until cold, at least 3 1/2 hours.
Just before serving, stir together vodka and syrup in a pitcher. Serve over ice in 6- to 8-ounce glasses.
