Instruction
1. Study the instruction for use of your steam juicer to understand its device. Usually this adaptation consists of three "floors" - tanks. In the lower tank fill in water; steam from below comes to average (sokopriyemnik) and liquid from above flows down; in top (trellised) raw materials are put. An important detail – a hose which fastens to a tube at the average level. Through it ready drink is poured.
2. Prepare fresh perfect fruits for juice preparation. Carefully wash out them as necessary remove stones. The edible skin shouldn't be removed – it contains a large amount of useful substances and has special taste and aroma. Lay raw materials in a trellised pan entirely, and slice large fruit or vegetables.
3. Add sugar to berries and fruit, and in vegetables - there is a little salt. You can defer to the taste or use ready recipes. So, on 4 l of a wild strawberry you need 300 g of sugar; on 4 l of plums – 400 g; on 3 l of cut apples or pears – 400 g; on 4 l of cherry – 350 g; on 4 l of black and red currant, raspberries – half a kilo.
4. Pour in the lower pan water according to steam juicer volume (usually it is from 2 to 3 l). Densely close a heat resisting cover, establish a clip on a hose and leave raw materials to take a steam bath. At a temperature about 70 degrees in a sokopriyemnik liquid begins to collect. Usually cooking of juice lasts of half an hour to an hour, depending on hardness, a maturity and juiciness of fruits. If you bought expensive modern adaptation with a temperature transmitter, it will simplify control of process.
5. When juice fills the middle tank, substitute a baking plate a hose the warm sterilized banks. They have to be lower than the level of a bottom of the steam juicer. Remove a clip and merge drink. It is recommended not to use the first 2 glasses of liquid for long-term storage – it is insufficiently sterile. Other juice can be rolled up for the winter. Usually from 2 kg of raw materials 1-1.5 l of juice turn out.
