Where can I buy pure cranberry juice

Have been to several supermarkets as well as the organic one in Dubai Mall. All I can find is the cranberry juice mixed with either water, or some other berry/fruit.
I could of course buy fresh cranberries and put them through a juicer, but I would then also have to get an extra freezer in order to be able to store a year's supply.

Usually the frozen unless I see a good deal on fresh and frozen are usually available year round. It's so pretty and a great mixer.

I think they'd be tough to juice - I make my own by bringing 8 cups of frozen or fresh cranberries to a boil in the same amount of water for about 20 minutes. I then mash them up a bit with a potato masher, then put them through a fine sieve (I actually use cheese cloth) and squeeze all the liquid through. It is very tart, so I add a few drops of stevia to take a bit of the edge off. The original recipe called for 1/4 cup of lemon or orange juice - I don't bother. Thanks, that does sound a lot easier then juicing! Do you have a Year's supply of fresh cranberries in the freezer, or can you buy frozen ones all year round?

How about juicing your own? Then you'll know exactly what's in it That's what I'm doing now, while it's freshly available. Guess I"ll have to go with the concentrate for the rest of the year. Thank you all for your replies, didn't know about the existence of concentrate.

Thanks, I will try the concentrate, I've grown accustomed to the bitter taste, and frankly, I have no choice, I need it for health reasons. So if there is anyone who knows where I can get the pure juice in Dubai that would be highly appreciated!

I have bought pure cranberry concentrate from the pharmacy at Spinneys Centre in Umm Suqeim. I have to mix it with lemonade to make it drinkable (but that's what i use it for anyway!). No way could you drink it mixed with just water....it'd just about kill you it's so bitter.

It is very difficult to find 'pure' cranberry juice because on its own, it is so bitter. As a result of the bitterness it is usually blended with another juice to 'cut' the intensity of the cranberries and to make it more palatable. That's not saying you won't find it, but I have not seen it here.
