You don’t have to spend your afternoons sippin’ Oceanspray or wading through bogs to get close to the season’s favorite berry. With this homemade recipe—perf for gifts or personal use—you’ll be rockin’ an au naturale runway-style pout.

What You’ll Need:

1 tablespoon almond oil

10 fresh cranberries

1 teaspoon honey

Microwave-safe bowl

Spoon

Fine sieve

Tubes or pots for lip balm (find ‘em at any drugstore)

What You’ll Do:

Pour the almond oil, cranberries and honey into a bowl and microwave for short stints until it begins to boil. Remove the bowl, grab your spoon and gently crush the cranberries. Stir the mixture well, then strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove the bits of cranberry that remain. Pour the lip balm into the containers you’ve chosen and get ready to go red.
