Equipment

Ingredients

  • fruit, enough to fill ⅓ of the pot
  • sugar, to taste
  • water

Instructions

  • Put your fruit and water into a large pot. I would suggest you use citrus, dark fruits, and sweet kinds of fruit all together; but any combination will be great!

    chopped fruits in a large pot.
  • Bring to a boil.

  • As soon as the juice starts boiling, wait 5 more minutes, turn it off, and stir in the sugar. Add a little at a time, and taste before you put more sugar in; especially if you don’t like sweet juices. Caution: it could be hot!

  • There is your homemade juice! Let it cool, then strain the juice into pitchers. The fruit you could either throw out or could leave some in the juice!

Notes

  • For a healthier option substitute sugar for agave or honey to taste.
  • Use any fruit that is in season, or frozen. Mix dark with citrus for great flavors.
