Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the fruit pulp until soft.

  2. Transfer the pulp to a bag or press and allow the juice to flow out naturally or squeeze it out.

  3. Evaporate the juice with added sugar until it reaches a density of 30° to 32° Brix.

  4. Pour the hot juice into tumblers for storage.

  5. If clarifying, mix in 1 teaspoon of hydrated chalk per quart of juice while boiling, then skim off the impurities.
