Ranetka juice for the winter at home

Ranetki - albeit small, but very tasty and healthy apples that contain a sufficient amount of liquid. The juice from them is highly acidic, therefore, when consumed, it is better to dilute it in half with water. It is not so difficult to make juice from ranetki for the winter, especially if the farm has special kitchen appliances. But even in their absence, there is a method of making a drink using an ordinary meat grinder.

How to make juice from ranetki

Ranetki are very healthy fruits. They contain several times more vitamins, minerals and other biologically active substances than ordinary garden apple varieties. This is due to their semi-wild origin. And the juice from them is not only very healthy, but also amazingly tasty.

The fruits for the production of this drink must be fully ripe, but without traces of diseases. Only mechanical damage is permissible.

Attention! The sap is most easily squeezed out of the fruits of the ranetka recently picked from the tree.

Before preparing a drink for the winter, fruits must be sorted out and thoroughly rinsed in several waters. Seeds and twigs are most often removed, but it is better to leave the peel, since it is it that contains the greatest amount of substances valuable for health.

How to squeeze juice from ranetki

There are several ways how to extract juice from ranetki with the least loss of time and energy.

In a juicer

The most convenient way to do this is using a juicer. This device consists of three containers. Ordinary water is heated in the bottom. At the top are apples prepared for processing. And in the middle, the same useful liquid accumulates, which is obtained due to the fact that apples soften under the influence of steam.

A fairly large number of apples can be processed in a juicer, and the drink is obtained without pulp, almost transparent. This allows you to twist it immediately for the winter, pouring it into pre-sterilized jars.

Of the disadvantages of this method, only a rather long heating time for apples and the finished product itself can be noted, which leads to some loss of nutrients in it. Also, compared to some models of juicers, the productivity of the juicer is much lower. And it is also advisable to cut the apples into smaller pieces so that the steaming process goes faster.

Through a juicer

This method of extracting juice from ranetki is considered the most optimal. Since it allows you to quickly and relatively easily prepare a drink for the winter from any, even the largest number of apples. At the same time, all the beneficial substances contained in the fruits are preserved. With some ranetki juicers, it is not even necessary to cut and remove seeds and tails. But most often it is necessary to first cut the fruit into at least two parts.

Not all modern juicers are suitable for the production of apple juice. Some imported models squeeze a pure product without pulp, but only in small quantities. Models of juicers made in Russia and Belarus are especially productive and unpretentious.

The main disadvantage of this method of extracting juice from the fruits of the ranetki is only that the drink is obtained with pulp. For some, this fact is not a disadvantage, but for others, you will need to use some techniques to lighten and make the resulting drink transparent.

Through a meat grinder

If neither a juicer nor a juicer is available, then the situation can be saved by a simple mechanical meat grinder, which is usually found in every home.

Of course, this method is the most troublesome, but, nevertheless, it allows you to get juice from a certain commensurate number of ranetki without much effort and time.

  1. To do this, it is only necessary to first carefully cut out all the seed chambers with tails, as well as places of mechanical damage from the ranetki.
  2. Then the apples are passed through a meat grinder.
  3. Then the resulting puree is squeezed through several layers of gauze.

The finished drink obtained through a meat grinder must be boiled for storage for the winter - this is another drawback of it. Since juices made by other methods are not boiled before spinning for the winter, but only brought almost to a boil.

Important! It is using a meat grinder that you can prepare a drink from ranetki for the winter with pulp, like mashed potatoes, for very young children.

It is boiled for 5 minutes, sugar is added to taste and packaged in small bottles.

How to make juice without pulp from Ranetki

If you need to spin the juice from the ranetki without pulp for the winter, then this can be done in two ways:

When using a juicer, a fairly decent amount of cake remains from the ranetki. It can be used in two ways:

  1. If the cake contains a lot of seeds and other apple waste, then it is poured with warm water, counting that 500 ml of water is used per 1 kg of solid waste. Then the cake is again passed through a meat grinder and added to the drink.
  2. If the cake is obtained from pieces of ranetki without cores, then sugar can be added to it and made from it an apple candy or other sweetness.

The resulting juice is allowed to settle a little (usually for an hour) so that the pulp settles to the bottom and the resulting foam leaves. Then it is filtered 2 times through a sieve or several layers of gauze. Put on fire, bring to a boil and remove from heating.

After that, you should strain the slightly cooled liquid again. This is usually enough to get pure juice without pulp.

To preserve it for the winter, the drink is again heated to almost boiling and immediately poured into steamed bottles or cans.
