15.11.2018 Winter blanks

Many people ignore pumpkin juice because of the specific taste of pumpkin. But this is not a reason to refuse a healthy drink. There are many ways to disguise it so that it will not be felt at all in the finished drink. One of the most delicious options is to prepare pumpkin juice with orange and lemon for the winter. Orange neutralizes not only the taste, but also the smell of pumpkins, and lemon adds a touch of sourness and ensures better preservation of the drink. If these additives do not seem enough, put a cinnamon stick in an almost ready juice and boil for a few minutes. The juice will be very tasty, bright, with a pleasant citrus-cinnamon aroma. You can make it thick almost like mashed potatoes or dilute with water to the desired density, as in this step-by-step recipe with a photo.

Ingredients:

peeled pumpkin and seeds - 800 g;
orange - 0.5 pcs;
lemon juice - 2 tbsp. l;
sugar - 150 gr;
water - 1.5 liters;
cinnamon - 1 stick.

How to prepare pumpkin juice with orange for the winter

Cut the crust from the pumpkin, remove the fibrous center along with the seeds. Cut the flesh into plates or small pieces. Cut the orange in half, then cut into slices, cut the peel and white part of the zest.

We shift the pumpkin into the pan. Add the flesh of the orange, cut into small pieces. Pour a glass of water (take water from the total amount specified in the recipe).

Covering, put the pan with pumpkin and orange on a small fire. Boil for 30-35 minutes. If the pumpkin is hard, cook longer, until soft. If necessary, add water, there should always be water on the bottom, otherwise the pumpkin will not break apart and burn.

We grind the softened pumpkin with orange with a submersible blender until the consistency of a thick homogeneous puree without pieces of pulp.

Bring the mashed potatoes to a boil over low heat. Bred with boiling water, pour sugar.

We throw a stick of cinnamon in pumpkin-orange juice, pour in lemon juice (or add a lemon on the tip of a knife). From the moment of boiling, cook for 5-7 minutes. Before pouring juice into banks, throw cinnamon.

While the juice is boiling, we sterilize the jars over the steam or bake in the oven, and heat in the microwave. Boil the lids for a few minutes. Pour boiling pumpkin juice into cans, twist tin lids.

We leave the filled jars to cool to room temperature, and then transfer to storage. It is not necessary to keep pumpkin juice in the cold, you can store it in the apartment, but choose a place cooler and without direct sunlight. Good luck with your workpieces!
