Juice - Recipe

In my family we have always been making our own juice of berries, which I wrote about here. It’s quite simple, but it can get a bit messy…  And it takes an hour or so.

You can use any kind of berries, but you have to adjust the amount of water and sugar, see the table below. I usually mix redcurrant and blackcurrant. Another favorite is rhubarb and redcurrant, very refreshing with ice in the summer!

Start with weight the berries. Calculate how much water you need. Take the largest saucepan you have and boil the water. Pour in the berries and let it boil 10 minutes. Filter the berries so you separate the berries from the juice. Use a sparsely fabric.

Measure the juice and calculate how much sugar you need. Pour the sugar into the juice (now back in the clean saucepan). Heat it up and when it’s boiling you gently take the foam on the surface away. Add some preservatives (follow the instructions on the package).

Take clean glass bottles and preheat them in the oven (a little under 100 degrees Celsius).

Pour the hot juice in the bottles and seal them while they are hot.
