JUICE IT UP!

Juicing time!

Our bounty of fruits and veggies!

We both love fresh juice in the morning, but are way to lazy most days, It just takes to much time on a weekday morning and makes a huge mess. We have a lovely single auger juice extractor that works beautifully, but is much slower then most Centrifugal Juicers although it produces more juice.

We just bought a vacuum sealer with a mason jar sealer attachment at a garage sale and were really excited to try it. We decided to try making one really really big mess a few times a week, and stock piling juice. So we vacuum sealed our 500ml wide mouth mason jars and stored them in the fridge. We make two or three days worth and the vacuum seal to help the juice to say fresher. Fresh made juice is always better right after it is first made, but I figure its better to drink day old juice then non at all.


So off to Root Cellar we went to stock up on juicing ingredients!
And after an hour or so of peeling, washing, chopping, dicing, juicing and sealing we had 6 jars of juice!

To make 7 or 8 500ml jars of juice

8 large organic braburn apples
16 large organic carrots
3 large organic beets
2 bunches of organic Italian parsley
2 bunches of organic spinach
2 bunches of organic purple kale
4 lemons
A few chunks of ginger

I find that the sweetness of the apple and beets of set the bitterness of the greens, also the lemon juice help it keep better.
