Juicing Apples

MoJo

I really do have lots of apples and I already freeze and dry them, make jams, butters & herb jellies and give plenty away.

This year I have invested in a Juicer, I know frozen Apple Juice loses its potency over time but I like it.

Does anyone else juice apples? The juice and froth goes brown very quickly (just like peeled apples do) and whilst it doesn't really bother me because it tastes divine it does look a bit yucky to say the least.

I could strain and decant to get clear juice but I'm conscious that I'd be getting rid of goodness.

I've tried Juicing some lemon with it to try and keep it from going brown but no luck so far - I'm still experimenting with the amount of lemon I put in.

Does anyone have any advice? Ta

Just thought of throwing in some blackberries which would mask the browness.

To be honest, I've never found that lemon juice stops the browning of juicewhich wants to 'go' - I have found that some apples oxidise less quickly than others, eg discovery, and apart from that I either drink quickly or disguise with blackberries, carrots etc. I don't bother straining because, as you say, it does seem a waste.

I haven't progressed to carrots yet, they're now next on my list.
