Extracting juice
You can use the steam oven to extract juices from fruit, such
as soft berries and cherries.
It is best to use overripe fruit, as the riper the fruit the greater
the quantity of juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also
produce a more intense flavour.
Preparation
Sort and rinse the fruit, and cut out any blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and morello cherries as these
are bitter. The stalks do not need to be removed from
strawberries, raspberries etc.
Useful tips
Try experimenting with mild and tart flavours. For example,
mix apples with elderberries.
Adding sugar will normally increase the quantity of juice
produced and improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with
sugar and leave to absorb for a few hours before extracting.
For sweet fruit add 50–100 g sugar, and for more tart fruit
100–150 g sugar per kilo of fruit.
If you wish to bottle the juice rather than consume it straight
away, pour it whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles up to the
rim, and then seal immediately with sterilised rubber tops.
Procedure
^
Put the prepared fruit (cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into
a perforated cooking container.
