Steam Juice Pears for Homemade Pear Juice
By using our Steam Juicer, we are able to take fresh pears (as well as all the pear peelings & scraps from the previous Pear Harvest Projects this year) and make some beautiful & delicious Homemade Pear Juice for our pantry shelf!
Ingredients
- Pears &/or Pear Peels (The More the Better!)
- Water [For Keeping the Bottom Section of Steam Juicer Filled Throughout Process]
- 1/2 Cup Sugar (Optional, per Batch)
Instructions
- Fill Bottom Section of Steam Juicer with Water, up to the Max Fill Line. Place onto Stovetop on Medium High Heat to Continually Boil the water.
- Place Middle Section of Steam Juicer, Tubing and Top Section of Steam Juicer.
- Add Pears (Cored) &/or Pear Peels to Top Section of Steam Juicer and place Cover onto section. Add Sugar (Optional) to the Pears/Peels.
- Allow Pears/Peels to Steam Juice and once enough Juice is created in the Middle Section of the Steam Juicer, you can begin adding the Juice to Jars. Quart Jars work well.
- Continue to add Pear Juice to jars as it is created & accumulates in the Middle Section. It takes about 1 hour per batch to create enough juice for adding to the jars.
- Continually check Bottom Section of Steam Juicer & add water as necessary, keeping the level up so that it can create the steam needed to complete the steam juicing process!
- Once all the Pear Juice is in their Jars, with a 1" headspace, wipe rims of jars and place lid/ring on each jar, finger tightening the ring.
- Place jars into water bath canner for processing, making sure water covers the jars by an inch or two. The minimum processing time is 10 min; add time as necessary based on your altitude.
- Once processing is complete, let the jars sit in the water bath canner for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a towel/dish drying mat for 12-24 hours for cooling and sealing. Listen for the pings as they seal!
- After 12-24 hours, you can remove the rings, making sure the jars all sealed, label jars and place in a cool, dry place for storage. 50-70 degrees is optimal.
- If any jars did not seal, place them in the refrigerator for enjoying now!
Notes
Sugar is optional in this juicing project. I find adding a 1/2 cup of sugar with the peels helps to give the juice the little extra flavor it needs!
Pear Juice stores for an extended period of time & can be used throughout the year for a yummy beverage or for adding to recipes! Warm Pear Juice / Cider or perhaps oatmeal made with this Pear Juice on a cold fall or winter day anyone?
This wonderfully sweet way to preserve pear Juice is such an easy Process to follow, with the right equipment. The end result is a clean & fresh tasting pear juice you just can’t find in the store!
