Pumpkin juice with apples for the winter without a juicer
The easiest way to make pumpkin juice with apples at home is one that doesn’t require a juicer. Pieces of pumpkin and apples are first boiled until soft and then pureed in a blender.
The density of the juice is regulated by adding water, but it can be left thick and diluted when you open the jar. Any variety of apples is suitable for juice, but it is better to take autumn or autumn-winter ones - they are juicy, mostly sweet and sour in taste. If possible, choose pumpkin with bright orange flesh that is dense and non-fibrous. It should taste sweet, without a grassy aftertaste. If the pumpkin is yellow, the juice will also be tasty, but its color will not be as rich.
Ingredients:
- peeled pumpkin – 1 kg;
- fresh apples – 0.5 kg;
- sugar – 150 g (to taste);
- lemon juice – 1.5 tbsp. l;
- water – 1-1.5 liters.
Pumpkin juice - general principles and methods of preparation
Few people know that the homeland of pumpkin is distant Mexico, from where it came to North America, and then spread throughout the countries of Eurasia. Local aborigines enjoyed eating the nourishing pulp, and used the seeds and juice for medicinal purposes. They knew very well what healing power these pumpkin ingredients contained. To this day, the “orange giant” rightfully bears the title of the best home healer.
Pumpkin juice is a drink for immunity. It concentrates many beneficial substances that play a decisive role in maintaining the body's defenses. In addition, pumpkin juice is rich in rare vitamin K, which is responsible for blood clotting. However, the most important benefit of the healing drink is its effect on the gastrointestinal tract, thanks to fiber and pectin. As you know, dietary fiber is not absorbed in the intestines and is excreted unchanged, cleansing the intestinal walls of decay products and accumulated toxins.
The principle of preparing freshly squeezed pumpkin juice is very simple. In order to obtain a healthy product at home, you need to get a juicer - a simple device will allow you to separate the juice from the pulp in a matter of minutes. The juice should be squeezed at maximum speed. There is another option for preparing pumpkin juice, but it is more troublesome: the pulp is grated and squeezed out using clean gauze, rolled up in several layers.
Freshly squeezed pumpkin juice has a pleasant sweetish taste, but due to its specific shades, unfortunately, not everyone likes it. In this case, it is recommended to mix it with other types of juice - vegetable, fruit or berry. For example, you can add carrot juice or a few drops of lemon juice and sugar. As a result, the taste is softer and “richer”. You can also stock up on pumpkin juice for future use, for the winter, if it is not possible to store fresh vegetables at home.
Recipe for pumpkin juice with apples
As I already wrote, pumpkin has an inexpressive taste, so let’s take apples as the next pumpkin juice improver. After oranges, apples are best suited for this.
Ingredients:
- Pumpkin – 2 kg.
- Apples – 1 kg.
- Sugar – 200g. (taste)
- Lemon – 1 pc.
If the household does not have a juicer, then pumpkin and apple juice can be obtained using the classic method by boiling it in a saucepan. To do this, we clean and wash the apples and pumpkin, cut off the peel of the latter, cut into pieces and place in a saucepan.
Pour cold water into the pan just enough to cover the pieces of apples and pumpkin.
Place on medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil until the pieces soften. While the future juice is boiling, squeeze the juice out of the lemons.
Pieces of apples and pumpkin soften approximately equally, so it is very convenient to boil them together.
It took us about 10 minutes to soften. Turn off the heat and blend everything with an immersion blender. Add lemon juice.
And the last operation remains - turn on the heat and bring the juice to a boil, then immediately turn it off. We do this just in case, since the blender has been in the juice.
That's it. Pour the hot juice into sterilized jars and close with lids.
Bon appetit!

More and more people want to eat not only tasty, but also healthy foods. Pumpkin is one of these products.
It turns out very tasty and unique. A variety of them decorate our table on weekdays and holidays. And kids really love it. Pumpkin juice is often called a medicinal infusion.
Choosing the right pumpkin for juicing
To get healthy and tasty juice, you need to choose the right vegetable. It is better if the pumpkin weight does not exceed 5 kg. Large fruits, as a rule, turn out to be a bit dry inside or, on the contrary, with too much water content. This leads to the fact that the final product may have an unpleasant bitter taste. The skin should be firm, but not hardened.
Quality pumpkin for juice
The tail of a fully ripened vegetable in the garden should come off easily. The pulp is colored rich yellow or dark orange. The content of vitamin A directly depends on this indicator. There is no need to buy pumpkin cut into pieces: it could have already begun to rot, which is why the seller had to remove some of it. The seeds obtained after cleaning and processing can also be eaten. They contain a lot of useful microelements.
