Cherry Juice
This version uses fresh cherries, plums, and golden raisins. The combo of deep red cherries and plums produces the most beautiful red-hued drink, which tastes like heaven on a hot summer day.
Servings: 12 glasses
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3.5 litres filtered water (1 gallon)
- 8 cups fresh cherries (pitted is optional)
- 6 red plums pits removed
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 apple cored and halved
Instructions
- Add 3.5 litres (1 gallon) of filtered water to a large pot.
- Add the fruit to the pot and bring to a boil. Semi-cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let boil for 60 minutes.
- After one hour, remove the fruit with a sieve or kitchen spider. Set the fruit aside.
- Note: if the cherries are pitted, you can process the fruits with a touch of sweetener for a delicious fruit puree or compost it as usual. You can also enjoy the stewed fruit on toast with mascarpone or creamy cheese and a drizzle of honey on top.
- I like to cool the liquid to room temperature, strain it into a bowl or mason jars, and chill in the fridge.
- Serve over ice and enjoy!
