A huge niche in the annual volume of harvesting is occupied by fruit juices, for example, apple juice for the winter. For the preparation of this healthy drink, in principle, any variety of apples is suitable. Of course, it would be more practical to use more juicy fruits, and make jam or jam from less juicy and loose ones. The taste of apples can be sweet or sweet and sour. Sweetness can always be adjusted with a sweetener.
Ingredients:
- Apples – 1 kg.
- Sugar – 3 tbsp. l.
How to cook:
1. Prepare the fruit – wash thoroughly, make sure that the peel is not damaged. It is also desirable that there are no crushed barrels. Measure out the desired amount of sugar using a measuring cup. If the apples are very sweet, less sugar can be added.
2. Cut the apples into thin segments, remove the central part with hard membranes. However, if the capacity of the juicer allows you to place a whole apple in the ingredient compartment, there is no need to cut the fruit.
3. Run the apples through the juicer. Depending on the juiciness of the fruit, 1 kg of apples will produce from 400 to 600 ml of juice.
4. Pour the juice into a saucepan, add sugar to it, maybe a little ground cinnamon. Stir and put the juice on the fire.
5. It is important not to miss the moment when the juice boils, as the foam can “run away” onto the stove. After the juice boils, you need to reduce the heat and boil it for another 3 minutes. Pour the hot juice into sterile jars or bottles.
