Homemade juices for the winter - what do we need to prepare them?

The fruit season is in full swing. Therefore, it is worth using them to prepare healthy, homemade juices that will serve us all year round. When drunk right away, they will be a great refreshing drink with lots of vitamins, and when poured into glass containers and stored for the winter, they will help us replenish our nutrients in the short winter months.

Homemade juices are a wealth of flavors and vitamins. Drinks rich in vitamin C will strengthen our immunity in the fall and winter season, and drinks with vitamin A will perfectly satisfy our thirst. On short, cold days, we will especially appreciate the addition of raspberry juice to hot tea, or a glass of elderberry juice drunk during colds.

The steam juicer, that is, the base

Until recently, pots were used to make juices for the winter. However, it required a lot of work from us. Cooking in a pot, straining, pitting... Currently, this method has been replaced by pressure juicers. At first glance, they look like steaming pots. Fill the lower tank with water and the upper tank with your favorite fruit. Place the juicer on the stove, heat it up and the water begins to evaporate. By rising upwards, it effectively softens the fruit. The fruit then releases the juice accumulating in the central tank, next to which a tube is mounted. Thanks to it, we will be able to easily pour homemade fruit juices into glass containers for the winter.

Fruit pitter

A manual drill will come in handy when we intend to process stone fruit into juices. Plums, cherries, or cherries must be pitted first, and only then can we throw them into the juicer. Why?

Fruits that are pitted will release juices much easier.
What's more, thanks to this, when we finish the production of juices, we will be able to prepare other preserves from the remains, e.g. preserves or jams. The stoner will not only make our task easier but also speed up our work. We will get rid of the seeds much faster with it than, for example, with a knife.

Homemade fruit juices for the winter - what to store in?

Homemade fruit juices for the winter are best placed in special jars. Of course, eating them immediately is also a good option. Today, there are many different glass juice containers on the market. They can be screw caps of various capacities. However, they can also be containers with twist caps or weck closures. Some models have a label on which we can write what type of juice we store in it. We can pour juices not only into glass bottles but also into jars.

Bottle labels - something worth investing in at the beginning

If the jars that we buy do not have ready-made labels, it is worth getting special sticky labels - then we will not have problems with recognizing a given juice. Especially if we produce juices from many different fruits, and in addition, another season in a row. In addition to the name of the juice, you should also include the production date on them. Bottle stickers very often take a decorative form, thanks to which the labeled juice is a great gift idea for a loved one. The latest hit is also the blackboard stickers with chalk included in the set. You can also make your own labels from self-adhesive paper - here the children will be happy to help.
