Not many people know how to make juice in a juicer, and why do it at all. This device has appeared in the ranks of household appliances for quite some time, but has not achieved popularity among housewives. In most cases, this is due to at least two factors.

Firstly, consumers simply do not know all the positive aspects associated with this option of processing fruits, berries and vegetables. Secondly, today many fruits are presented in a wide assortment and are available almost all year round. Thanks to this, it is much easier for people to buy them and squeeze the juice in a mechanical way, without wasting time on a troublesome, as they think, process.

Why use a juicer to make juice?

According to the principle of operation, the juicer is similar to a conventional double boiler. It consists of three parts, which are designed for pouring water, laying food and collecting the finished juice. If we compare the procedure for obtaining a drink using a juicer and a juicer, then many factors speak in favor of the first device:

• Working with a juicer is easier and more comfortable. It does not make noise, does not spray the product, its parts are not clogged with pieces of pulp.
• The final drink does not contain sediment, as during evaporation, all particles of pulp are brought to the same state.
• The finished product does not need additional sterilization. If necessary, you can immediately roll it into cans. And if you want to close freshly squeezed juice for the winter, you need to boil it right after production.
• The "raw" composition oxidizes very quickly, so you need to either drink it right away or spend time on additional processing. Juice obtained as a result of using the juicer can be stored much longer without negative consequences for its taste and physical properties.
• Despite the fact that it takes longer to prepare juice in a juicer than with the mechanical processing of components, this process does not require a constant presence. You do not need to add products during the manipulation, they only need to be initially loaded into the desired compartment.

Tip: The pulp left after making the juice should not be thrown away. From it you can make delicious jam or marmalade. In the juicer itself, healthy jelly is made from product residues.

• Steam-processed juice usually does not even need to be added sugar. It is already sweet and fragrant.
• A juice cooker does not get so dirty as a juicer. Wash it after use is much easier.
• The device, if necessary, can be used as a regular double boiler for processing the necessary components for a couple.
• The finished product has a maximum set of useful components, regardless of what is included in its composition.

Of course, for daily preparation of a small amount of juice it is more convenient and more rational to use a juicer. But if you plan to make a drink for the winter in large quantities, it is better not to come up with a juice maker.

How to organize the process according to all the rules?

The juice preparation procedure begins with familiarization with the instructions that are attached to each unit. If this is not done, you can inadvertently exceed the volumes of water or products, incorrectly set the timers, if any. In addition, it is important to assemble the fixture correctly. It usually consists of three parts, but options are possible.

1. Wash the selected fruits, clean, remove the seeds, cut out all the damaged parts. It is better not to remove the skins, because they contain many useful components. Large specimens are cut into pieces. We lay out all the blanks in the appropriate department of the apparatus.
2. When using vegetables, you can sprinkle the semi-finished product with a small amount of salt. If fruits or berries are laid, sugar is added to taste. On average, 1 kg of strawberries or cherries requires no more than 100 g of sugar. Plums, raspberries, apples and pears a couple more tablespoons.
3. Pour water into the lower compartment of the device, the volume depends on the dimensions of the device. It is not worth filling the container completely; after boiling, it will begin to pour out. Next, close the lid, clamp the device hose and start the device. As soon as the temperature exceeds 70 ° C, liquid will begin to accumulate in the receiver, the level of which must be monitored. After about 30-60 minutes, the tank will be filled only if the components do not differ in dryness and increased density.
4. Then we take sterile, still warm cans, and gradually fill them from the tank, substituting the hose and unlocking it.

If you use sweet and sour apples, then sugar is better to add, but not more than 100 grams per liter of juice.

Depending on the capacity of the juicer, you need a different number of apples. As a rule, from 2.5 kilograms of prepared apples, about 1.5 liters of juice is obtained.

To prepare a tasty and aromatic drink, we need products on the list. The weight is already peeled and chopped fruit.

Cooking time - 80 minutes.

Ingredients:

• apples - 2 kg;
• sugar - 3 tbsp;
• cinnamon - 0.5 sticks;
• clove - 1-2 pcs.;
• water - 2 liters.

How to make apple juice in a juicer for the winter

In the lower compartment of the cooker, pan, pour water based on its capacity, but, as a rule, about 2 liters are enough. We put on the stove, so that by the time the apples are prepared, the water has already boiled. If you are not sure that during this time you can process all the apples, heat the pan a little later.

The apples are very carefully washed. Juice will not be subjected to additional sterilization, so apples should be perfectly washed.

We cut small fruits into 4 parts, large ones into 6-8. Be sure to cut the core with the seeds, if this is not done, then the juice can then be bitter. If apples are bottoms, then we cut off all the wrinkled, spoiled and wormy places. The peel does not need to be removed.

Fill the top bowl of the juice cooker with chopped apples, pouring sugar.

We put half the cinnamon sticks and one or two buds of cloves on top. When the water boils, we put on it a compartment for collecting juice and a bowl of apples. We cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for about 60-70 minutes. The hose at this time must be blocked by either a tap or a clamp.

During this time, we will prepare jars and lids - carefully wash and sterilize.

To check the readiness of the juice, you can open the lid with fruits, apples should settle and turn into a puree.

We put sterilized jars under the hose, open and drain the juice to the very top of the jar.

We cover the jars with apple juice lids and roll up the key. Then we turn it over the lid and wrap it with a blanket or plaid. The slower the juice cools, the longer the product is sterilized. The cooled cans are stored in a dark, dry place.

The modern rhythm of life sets new fashion trends. The issue of healthy nutrition has long become relevant and few people are indifferent. Therefore, manufacturers of utensils and appliances are in constant improvement and strive to meet the needs of consumers.

  How to boil juice in a juicer

There are many recipes for making juice in a juice cooker and they are all prepared according to the same principle. Sokovarka consists of several containers, which are composed one on top of the other. About three liters of water are poured into the lowest, and vegetables or fruits are poured into the top. the cooker is put on fire, where the water begins to evaporate when heated. Gradually, the steam heats the fruit and they secrete juice, which, on a special tap, enters a separate bowl. Before cooking, berries and fruits should be washed well and stoned. Large fruits are recommended to be cut into several parts. With this heat treatment, vitamins and nutrients are preserved, and the juice is pasteurized. It turns out concentrated and sweet. Sokovarka works silently and does not require control, automatically doing its job.

Sprinkle them with a teaspoon of salt and sugar, then start cooking. Pour juice into prepared dishes and tighten the lids. At the bottom of each container before pouring juice, you can add a sprig of celery. The result is a drink that is not just tasty, but also wholesome and aromatic.

If you want to sweeten the juice a little, then do it at the very beginning. Pour sugar with vegetables and fruits into the top bowl. After cooking, it is better not to add granulated sugar to the juice, as this may violate its sterility.

The residues after apples or tomatoes can not be thrown out. Use them for other dishes, for example apples can be added for toppings, and tomatoes can be used for cooking adjika or lecho.

A rich harvest of apples is at hand not only for gardeners, but also for housewives. There are more apples than ever at autumn fairs this year. Harvesting apples for the winter is, first of all, a jam, delicate apple jam with condensed milk and, of course, natural apple juice.

There are two ways to prepare apple juice for the winter: squeeze or boil in a juicer. Both methods are good, but making juice in a juicer does not require constant presence and participation in the process - they laid apples or berries, turned on the gas and have an hour and a half of free time to do other household chores.

For beginners in this matter, the question is relevant: how to use a juice cooker. It only at first seems to be complicated, but in fact - very fast, simple and convenient.

Cooking apple juice in a juice cooker:

If the farm has a juice cooker, then it is easy to make natural apple juice and applesauce without sugar for the winter. Homemade juices without chemicals and preservatives - this is so healthy and tasty!

The principle of operation of the juicer is very simple: the water in the lower pan boils, fruits or berries are processed by steam rising up, under the influence of which juice is released. Juice flows into a medium saucepan, and from it into a prepared container.

Sokovark apple juice: a recipe at home

We need ripe apples, about 6-7 kg. It is better to take apples for juice well ripened, sweet, juicy. Wash the fruits thoroughly.

Cut the seed chamber in fruits cut into quarters (unless, of course, you plan to make mashed potatoes from the remains of apples). Otherwise, the seeds can be left.

Pour hot water into the bottom pot of the cooker. There should be plenty of water. During the preparation of juice, make sure that the water does not boil away.

On it, install a juice collector with a rubber hose to output juice.

And finally, the top perforated pan, in which put apples sliced \u200b\u200binto thin slices. Finely chopped fruit will make juice stand out faster and easier. Close its lid. If the apples are small, then it will be enough to cut them into four parts.

Put the juice cooker on the stove turned on and prepare a pan into which the finished juice will merge. When the water boils in the lower pan, reduce the heat to medium. Opening the lid after half an hour you will see that the apples began to darken and became softer.

Gently mix the apples every 20-25 minutes. This will speed up the separation of juice.

After 40-50 minutes, depending on the ripeness and size of the apples, apple juice will begin to form.

While juice stands out - continue to collect it. From a full pan of apples, a small pile of “apple waste” remained. Use them for making applesauce.

Thoroughly rinse the cans or bottles, lids, using soda. Sterilize in a convenient way. Stir the juice in a saucepan and bottle. Cover with lids.

Then you need to sterilize the juice in bottles. To do this, pour water into a suitable pan, put a napkin or small towel on the bottom and place the bottles in it. Close the pan with a lid and sterilize, after boiling, for 15-18 minutes.

Remove the bottles from the pan with a towel and tighten the lids tightly. Put the bottles in a jacket or blanket, wrap them and leave to cool completely.

From the leftovers, cook sugar-free puree. Transfer apples from the juicer to another pan.

Wipe through a metal sieve or punch blenders with a submersible until homogenized.

Transfer applesauce to a cauldron or thick-bottomed stewpan. If the apples are not sweet, then you can add sugar if you wish.

Bring the product to a boil, then reduce the heat to small and simmer the puree for 10-15 minutes. At the same time, the contents of the pan must be constantly stirred so as not to burn to the bottom.

Rinse with soda, sterilize and dry small jars. Put boiling mashed potatoes in them, quickly close the lids.

Put the jars on the juice, cover them with a blanket and leave to cool.
