In terms of taste, it is in no way inferior to store-bought. On the contrary, it does not contain harmful additives which makes it much more useful. It can be prepared from different varieties apples. At the same time, sour and tart fruits must still be abandoned, since the finished juice from such fruits is not very pleasant in taste and can cause heartburn.
It is very important to choose juicy fruits, because the amount of juice obtained during the extraction directly depends on juiciness. You can prepare apple juice using a juicer or a home juicer. We want to offer you several recipes for making apple juice. Choose the one you like best.
Apple juice at home.
Ingredients:
- apples
- sugar
Cooking:
1. Wash the fruits, cut out the damaged areas with a sharp knife.
2. Cut the fruits into several pieces.
3. Place the sliced apples in pieces home juicer, press.
4. Pour all the resulting liquid into a glass or enameled container.
5. Squeeze the juice from the pulp, strain into a clean pan through cheesecloth.
6. Put the pan on the fire, taste the drink. If necessary, add granulated sugar. A three-liter jar will take about 3 tablespoons of sugar.

Pass the apples through a meat grinder several times (2 or 3 will be enough). So that the fruit juice does not darken after the first passage, add a small amount of ascorbic acid to it (10 g per 10 kg). Keep apple drink it will be better if the mass is homogeneous and sufficiently crushed. Next, pasteurize the juice, roll it into a container.
When else prepare apple juice for the winter Why not in August?! It was during this period fruit trees are at the very peak of their maturation, and contain a maximum of vitamins in each fruit. As for apples specifically, they are rich in iron, and may well be preserved for a long time without spoiling for their own palatability and useful properties. But, like everything else, the term of fruit data storage also comes to a logical end. And this can happen in December, and in February ... How to be? After all, it is necessary to replenish the body with a vitamin set throughout the cold season (especially during spring beriberi). And just quench your thirst with a delicious drink.
It is important not to make a mistake when choosing a product for harvesting. After all, the summer apple harvest, or rather early varieties due to the presence of a small amount of moisture, they are only suitable for puree, jam or for drying. Late ones, on the contrary, are very juicy and just right for making. And do not get too carried away, preserving the drink in large liters. Better at a minimum, so that the stock is no more than two years ( optimal time storage).
It is extremely convenient to use a juicer to distill fresh juice: quickly and efficiently. In addition to this device, you will need: the apples themselves, of course, gauze, seaming tin lids, glass container, seaming machine, thermometer for temperature control, slotted spoon and tweezers. And, having received a ready-made concentrated and saturated liquid, it must be poured into an enameled container of a suitable volume and placed on a stove to be sterilized. "Apple juice for the winter" recipe in no case does not boil (with rare exceptions)! This Golden Rule home blockage. It only warms up on moderate heat up to 90 C; and the degree of heating is brought to the desired mark on the thermometer placed in the container. Why such precision? So that everyone does not “die” in the liquid useful material. And also boiling leads to a deterioration in taste.
Apple juice is one of the most convenient and delicious ways preserving the harvest of apples for the winter. Apple juice allows you to preserve vitamins and other useful substances as much as possible, and at the same time use almost no sugar and other additives.
Apple juice can be prepared in four ways:
Before rolling, jars should be washed well with laundry soap or soda and sterilized. This can be done by steaming the jars over a pot of boiling water or heating them in an oven at 100-120°C for 10-15 minutes. It is more convenient in the oven, since the kitchen does not float in clouds of water vapor. Keep the jars in the oven until the juice is poured to keep them hot. Take out the jars with a thick oven mitt or special tongs so as not to burn yourself.
Covers must be boiled in water before rolling. When sealing cans of apple juice, use lids with a lacquered inner coating, as the acid in the juice can corrode the unprotected sheet metal of the lid. Screw caps are usually immediately protected by a special coating. When reusing these covers, carefully inspect the inside of them for scratches or damage.
Turn over rolled cans of juice, inspect each for leakage or air, wrap and let cool completely. Store apple juice for no more than two years in a dark place.
Not all apples are suitable for squeezing juice. Yes, you can use the carrion, after cutting out all the dubious places. The main thing is that apples for juice should be juicy, sorry for the tautology, and not too sour. IN sour juice you have to add sugar, and this can cause heartburn. And in general, it is better, if possible, to completely refuse to add sugar to natural juices, especially when it comes to dietary or baby food. The maximum that you can afford is 2-3 tbsp. sugar on three-liter jar. There is no need to be afraid of swelling of the jars - if you thoroughly washed the jars and sterilized them to the conscience, there should not be any unpleasant surprises.
Now a few words about the process of squeezing juice. Wash the apples thoroughly, remove the core and cut into pieces.
It is convenient to use a special method when the core is removed in one movement and the apple is cut into 6-8 parts. For squeezing juice industrial scale we strongly recommend using ugly-looking, but very reliable juicers made in Russia or Belarus. Firstly, it costs nothing for them to squeeze a couple of buckets of apples for half an hour and not even warm up. Secondly, they are designed so that the cake is squeezed as dry as possible, and there is practically not a drop of juice left in it. Everything is going to work.
Glamorous imported juicers are only good for squeezing a couple of apples for a smoothie or cocktail, then they need a lot of rest. And the cake from them is liquid, full of unsqueezed juice. Not juicing, but a complete translation of products ...
Apple juice after squeezing should be filtered through several layers of gauze, previously washed with laundry soap and ironed. This way you will remove the remaining pulp, and you will not have to further clarify the juice. Unless a thin layer of pulp forms at the bottom of the cans during storage.
In order for the juice not to darken, you can add a little lemon juice, but do not overdo it, otherwise the juice will be too sour. We have already talked about sugar: 2-3 tablespoons per 3-liter jar, and that's it.
That, in fact, is all the wisdom of harvesting apple juice for the winter. apple juice in pure form it turns out quite concentrated in taste. Therefore, when using it, it is better to dilute it with boiled or clean filtered water. And you can make assorted juices or blended juices.
Apple-carrot juice. Take apples and carrots in a ratio of 1:1 or less (less carrots to apples). Boil the peeled carrots a little for a couple and squeeze the juice in any way. For baby food boiled carrots can be rubbed through a sieve. Mix apple juice and carrot juice or puree and do with it one of the above methods (pasteurization in jars, pasteurization in enamel containers or boiling).
Apple-pumpkin juice. Peel the pumpkin from the skin and seeds, cut into pieces and boil for a couple. Pass through a sieve or puree in a blender and mix with apple juice in any proportions. You can add lemon juice or sugar to taste. Pasteurize in any way or boil and roll up.
Apple pear juice. pear juice does not have a pronounced taste and aroma, but mixed with apple allows you to get a drink with an interesting bouquet. Prepare apples and pears, cut the core, cut into slices and squeeze in the usual way or separate the juice with a juicer. Pasteurize or boil and roll up. Ratio - any.
Enumerate the composition of blended juices and assorted juices indefinitely. Mix apple juice with squash, blackberry, raspberry, juice chokeberry(in this case, only 10-15% of chokeberries in relation to apples are enough, and you will get not only tasty and beautiful, but also healthy drink). There are many options for supplements, and each region of our vast country has its own.
Fantasize or just prepare pure apple juice for the winter, don't let a single apple go to waste, and your family will be grateful to you!
Good luck preparing!

And now we will look at how to roll up on our own and how to save it for the winter.
Many may remember how in the nineties of the last century they dragged sacks of apples from dachas and shops to their apartments and turned them into apartments for a while. canning shops. Given that there was only one variety of fruit on sale, most often they prepared juice of one variety - from 30-40 liters.

We heat the water to a temperature of 85 degrees, reduce the heat and, maintaining the temperature, the time depends on their size: 20 minutes for one and a half liter and 30 minutes for two or three liters.
