Today's Juice

Pumpkin Juice

2007-11-04T22:41:10Z

In honor of Dumbledore being out of the closet I decided to make pumpkin juice as the students at Hogwarts are often drinking the stuff and I have no idea what it's like.

My digital camera is dead so you'll have to imagine what it looks like. Sorry.

What went in:
Half of a 4ish pound pumpkin
One apple

What came out:
Thick pumpkin pie colored juice, with a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice it was VERY good.

I'm thinking I might put the pulp in to some kind of baked good. Cookies maybe.

Also: the seeds need to be toasted.

BLOOD!

2006-02-18T05:52:12Z

What went in:

One beet and it's greens - scrubbed
Three Carrots - washed
3/4 inch ginger
one Orange - pealed

What came out:

1+ glass dark red juice
1/2 cup pulp

Conclusion:
Another fantastic color. I tried to make this one root only but it needed sweetener, hence the orange. I don't really like beets, but beets are good for you so I thought I'd try it.... This one is hazeleyedfae approved, and she hates beets. Though I thought it could use a bit more ginger, and/or maybe a bit less beet. This one had the added benefit of turning your tongue bright red and also the explaining to the normal roommate about drinking blood and eating baby pie....

Also: New icon featuring all the pretty colors of juice. Also those are the ones I named: Tropical Sunset, Blood, Swamp Water, and Nuclear Waste.

(if you're reading this on your friends list go to the journal because there are back dated entries, I was a slacker....)

What went in:

Three small leaves lettuce
One large carrot - washed
1/2 cucumber - washed
1 handful spinach
Two oranges - pealed

What came out:

1 full cup MUD colored juice.
1/2 cup pulp including large pieced of waxy cucumber skin.

Conclusion:
The juice was ok. Not bad but not as good as yesterday. The lettuce was a "this is in the fridge and is going to go bad thing, I figured why not I couldn't pick out the flavor. The cucumber was interesting.
Need more spinach. Spinach is good.
This time I experimented with refridgerating the juice for later consumtion. I made the juice before bed and drank it for breakfast. The pulpier part seperated out of the juice but it was still fine. The color seemed the same but how do you change from mud colored?
I also experimented with putting all the pieces in the dishwasher.
I can't tell you the result of that experiment because I didn't check it this morning and am still not home.

Carrot Spinach Orange

What went in:

Two carrots - washed trimmed stem
Two handfuls spinach - rinsed
One orange - pealed

What came out:

3/4 a glass of rich green juice with orange flecks.
1/8 cup of pulp.

Conclusion:
Wow was this tasty. I thought there might have been too much spinach but it was perfect. The orange gave it a nice sweet tang. Definetly for repeating.
