Midsummer's Day. It's warming up to be a scorcher in New York today and I've had to resort to switching on the AC..
Even with only two apples I can make 1.5 pints of Super Juice. It seems like a lot of volume and it's taking me 1/2 hour just to drink it. The pineapple perfectly disguises the grassy taste of the 'powders' and the overall taste is quite refreshing. I could drink a lot of this...
Royal Gala apples seem to juice up nicely and the ripe pineapple I have seem to love being chucked down the chute!
I need to add some info about the juicer I purchased. It's the Breville JE900 Professional Juice Extractor (I can't find it on the Breville USA site, but I purchased it on Amazon.com). It jumped out at me on the Amazon website because of it's sturdy-looking construction, tough motor and the many reviews I read about how simple to clean it was. Most of all, I was pretty price-conscious. $99 was what I paid and I think I got a good deal. This thing is seriously powerful and has made light work of the ingredients so far (remember, only day 2 here!).. The shute is not quite large enough for my Royal Gala apples, but there's a big label on the side of it that says 'Juice Whole Apples'! It's fair to say that my apples are quite large (fnur fnur) and that the blade/motor would have no problem sucking in a 'normal' sized one, whole.
So far (one day in!), I'm following Jason's instructions clearly about 'process'. I fill the sink with warm water and prepare and chop all my food, then rinse everything off after I'm done. It works really well. I don't have any bags though so the pulp is going straight into the bin. Already there's a nice pong when I open it up, so I think I'm going to adopt the bag method. Has anyone come up with ingenious uses for that stuff. Add a comment and let me know. Is there any nutrients left in it? Shall I feed some to next-door's dog?

Use the pulp . Don't waste it it helps with compost, it's all good stuff to help future veggies.
The colourrs look good on the old home composter.

Hmmm compost.. that's certainly one way.. but I live in a 5th floor apartment in Manhattan. Not that much call for compost here.. :( Any other suggestions?

Actually, I've heard you may be able to use it as a face pack... if you really feel inclined to ;)

You could use the pulp for cooking. Vege pulp makes good stock for soups and fruit pulp can be used for muffins.
