How to make delicious pear juice

Make pear juice yourself

Domestic pears ripen between August and September, but are available in stores as imported goods all year round. If there are a lot of ripe pears in the garden, you can use the steam juicer to turn the delicious fruit into juice and store it in sterile bottles for a longer period of time.

Pear juice with the steam juicer

1. Wash the pears and remove any stains and bruises.
2. Quarter the pears.
3. As soon as the water boils in the juicer, the pot with the fruit is placed on it. It takes at least an hour, rather longer, for juice to collect in the drainage hose.
4. During this time you can prepare the bottles for filling.
5. As soon as a good juice yield is achieved, the hot juice is filled into sterile bottles and immediately sealed airtight.

Pear juice from the saucepan

If you don't have a steam juicer, you can juice hot in a large saucepan.

1. Wash the pears thoroughly, remove the damaged areas and cut them into small pieces.
2. Put the fruit in the pot and add water (about 20% of the amount of fruit).
3. Seal the pot and cook the pears to puree for about 20 minutes.
4. Let the puree cool and then squeeze out the juice in portions through a cloth.
5. Sweeten the juice to taste, boil it again and then fill it into sterile bottles.

Juice the pears cold

Cold-juiced fruit retains its vitamins and nutrients, but does not keep for long in the refrigerator.
If you have an electric juicer, you should therefore make small amounts of juice more often. To do this, the cleaned fruit is chopped up and squeezed out in the device by means of a centrifuge. The juice and pomace are collected in two different containers.

You can also use a hand blender to juice cold.

1. Chop the cleaned fruit and put it in a tall container.
2. Puree it with the hand blender.
3. Put the puree in portions in a fine cloth and manually squeeze out the juice.
