Extracting Juice - Miele DG 6401 Operating And Installation Instructions

Special applications

Extracting juice

This appliance is ideal for extracting
juice from soft, firm and hard fruit.
It is best to use overripe fruit as the rip‐
er the fruit, the greater the quantity of
juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also
produce a more intense flavour.
Preparation
Sort and rinse the fruit, and cut out any
blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and
morello cherries as these are bitter. The
stalks do not need to be removed from
strawberries, raspberries etc.
Cut larger fruit into chunks approx.
2 cm in size. The harder the fruit, the
smaller the pieces should be.
Useful tips
– Try experimenting with mild and tart
flavours. For example, mix apples
with elderberries.
– Adding sugar will increase the quanti‐
ty of juice produced and improve the
flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar
and leave to absorb for a few hours
before juicing. For 1 kg of sweet fruit
add 50–100 g of sugar, and for 1 kg
of tart fruit add 100–150 g of sugar.
– If you wish to bottle the juice rather
than consume it straight away, pour it
whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles
up to the rim, and then seal immedi‐
ately with sterilised rubber tops.
