Extracting juice from fruit
Settings
This appliance is ideal for extracting juice from soft, firm and hard fruit.
 Place a solid cooking container or the universal tray underneath in order to collect the juice.
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
 Put the prepared fruit into a perfor- ated cooking container.
Steam cooking  Temperature: 100 °C Duration: 40–70 minutes
Sort and clean the fruit. Cut out any blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and morello cherries as these are bitter. Ber- ries do not need to have their stalks re- moved.
Cut larger fruit such as apples into chunks of approximately 2 cm in size. The harder the fruit, the smaller the pieces should be.
Tips
- Try experimenting with mild and tart fruit.
- Adding sugar will increase the quant- ity of juice produced and improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar and leave to absorb for a few hours before juicing. For 1 kg of sweet fruit add 50–100 g of sugar, and for 1 kg of tart fruit add 100–150 g of sugar.
- If you wish to bottle the juice rather than consume it straight away, pour it whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles, and then seal immediately with steril- ised tops.
