Fresh Cranberry Glycerite

This glycerite had a relatively conservative 14 day infusion time. It’s a self-preserving glycerin extract using fresh cranberries. Isn’t that all-natural popping red color enough to knock your socks off? The infusion started getting all happy a mere 5 minutes after I capped the jar. I took a picture so I could show you. I was practically ready to sit there and watch the entire infusion in real time but not much else would have gotten done around here.

What can we use cranberry glycerite for? Well, I have a few fun ideas in mind. I’ll show you an oily-gel-like cleanser I added it to next time. But it would be great in a honey cleanser, a lotion, cream, tonic, face mist, and anywhere else one might consider adding glycerine to a formula.

Want to make your own? It’s seriously addictive, so if you think you don’t have time for this kind of thing, don’t even think about clicking the picture below.
