Pumpkin continues the season of autumn harvesting for the winter, when the entire harvest has already been harvested from trees and bushes. The sweet treats aren't over yet if there aren't a few jars of aromatic pumpkin and orange juice on the pantry shelf. And this is not just a dessert drink, but a source of many substances beneficial to the body. A huge amount of vitamins, micro- and macroelements, pectin and valuable fiber are contained in fresh fruits and remain in properly prepared juice.

Pumpkin-orange drinks do not have a long shelf life; they should be consumed within 2-3 months after canning. But you can prepare such a delicacy until winter. Whole fruits tolerate room temperature well, are inexpensive, frozen pulp is also suitable for processing, and oranges are available all year round.

How to make high-quality juice from pumpkin - basic principles

Having a juicer, juicer and other equipment at hand, it is easy to prepare pumpkin drinks in any quantity, at any time. The simple recipes presented will allow you to make preparations for the winter both with and without the use of kitchen units. A sieve, a grater or gauze, a little patience and a minimum of heat treatment is all that is needed for such a process.

The vegetable itself with orange pulp has some peculiarities. Some tips:

1. 1. The best juice comes from a ripe pumpkin with a bright center. It is worth choosing small fruits weighing up to 5 kg.
2. 2. Preparing a vegetable for processing means peeling it from the hard skin, halving it and removing the seeds. The fibers inside can be removed or left in if a thicker product is desired.
3. 3. The cake is used for filling pancakes, pies and seasoning milk porridges. The mixture crushed in a blender can be returned to the drink, which will give it a puree-like consistency.
4. 4. Regular sugar is used for sweetening, but it can be replaced with honey in the same amount. The liquid will be viscous and will become even more useful.

Pumpkin-orange juice weakens and reduces acidity. This should be taken into account by those for whom such an action is contraindicated. Gastroenterologists advise drinking the drink before breakfast. Taken before bed, it perfectly helps cope with insomnia.

Homemade pumpkin juice with orange

Anyone who hates pumpkin will never guess what the drink is made from. When ready, it resembles honey balm with a bright orange aroma - you'll lick your fingers!

To make such a delicious dish at home, you will need the simplest ingredients:

• pumpkin - 4 kg;
• oranges - 3 pcs.;
• sugar (or honey) - 800 g;
• water - from 5 to 7 liters;
• citric acid - 15 g (1 tbsp.).

Water is added randomly until the drink reaches the desired concentration. Citric acid can be replaced with fresh citrus juice. This will require 2 lemons.

Pumpkin is prepared as standard. Peel the oranges and cut each segment into pieces. If you decide to use zest or peel, add only the amount that can be removed from half the fruit. Otherwise the juice may taste bitter.

Step-by-step instructions for preparing a manually pressed drink:

1. 1. The peeled pumpkin pulp is cut into slices and then into cubes.
2. 2. Place together with the orange in a saucepan and cook until the pumpkin softens (about 20 minutes).
3. 3. Grind the resulting mass manually with a regular potato masher or pass it through a meat grinder.
4. 4. The puree is squeezed through several layers of gauze or ground through a sieve to obtain a drink with pulp.
5. 5. Add citric acid, sugar and place on low heat. Water is poured in portions to control the thickness of the product.
6. 6. Having brought the juice to a boil, pour it into prepared sterile containers and seal it tightly with metal lids.

Pumpkin in this form is a very delicate product to store. The presence of citrus fruits and sugar adds durability to the preparations, but it is extremely important to keep the dishes sterile, warm or boil the jars and lids before packaging.

Drink with orange pulp and juice

Pumpkin contains a whole bunch of vitamins, calcium salts, magnesium, iodine and zinc and many other useful compounds. In terms of carotene (provitamin A) content, the ripe vegetable is not inferior to carrots, and the valuable fiber is especially soft and does not injure the digestive tract. All the benefits of the fruit can be preserved as much as possible only by processing it with pulp.

For thick diet juice you will need:

• peeled pumpkin - 3 kg;
• oranges - 1.5 kg;
• sugar - to taste;
• citric acid - 1 tbsp. l.;
• water: 1 l for cooking + 3 l for diluting juice.

Cooking process step by step:

1. 1. Place the chopped pumpkin in a large saucepan and pour in 1-2 liters of water.
2. 2. Boil the vegetable under the lid until soft.
3. 3. Wash the oranges thoroughly, cut them in half and extract the juice. The seeds should be removed from the liquid.
4. 4. The peel can be added to the pan and boiled together with the pumpkin. The drink will become more flavorful.
5. 5. The total boiling time of the mass should not be more than 30 minutes. The juice is poured in just before turning off.
6. 6. Having finished heating, remove the crusts from the workpiece, add the entire portion of sugar and puree it with a blender.

Now the vegetable mass can be brought to the desired taste and thickness by adding citric acid and pouring in water. The juice becomes thicker as it is stored, which means it can be greatly diluted.. The finished drink is packaged after reheating. This time the mass is just brought to a boil and immediately removed from the heat. Hot preparations are preserved in the usual way, wrapped warmly and slowly cooled.

If you need to extend the shelf life of the juice or you plan to leave it in normal home conditions, then the preparations are additionally pasteurized for 20 to 30 minutes. Liter containers are kept in boiling water for at least 15 minutes, and three-liter containers - 30. The jars are sealed after sterilization.

Using a juicer

Having such a unit as an assistant, cooking from any raw material is not difficult. The help of machinery is especially valuable when processing pumpkins. To extract the liquid manually, it has to be boiled. A juicer allows you to obtain a “live” product, and choose the method of processing it, taking into account the conditions for further storage.

The general principle is simple - pass pieces of vegetables and citrus through the unit and preserve. Product ratio for a drink without pulp:

• 2 kg pumpkin;
• 1 kg of oranges;
• 200 g sugar;
• 1 tsp. citric acid.

Before peeling citrus fruits, they must be washed and doused with boiling water. After this, the fruits must be thoroughly wiped with a clean towel, trying to remove plaque, which may contain chemicals. Care is necessary, as the drink will require zest.

Preparation:

1. 1. Prepare a decoction from 0.5 liters of water and zest: boil for 5 minutes, cool and filter.
2. 2. Vegetable pieces and orange slices (without seeds) are passed through a juicer.
3. 3. The liquid is placed in a saucepan, placed on the stove and a fragrant decoction of the zest is added.
4. 4. Add sugar and citric acid to the product, adjust their quantity based on your taste.
5. 5. Boil for 10 minutes and immediately pour into sterile, warm jars.

The drink can be preserved without additives, only pure pumpkin and orange juice. This preparation will last in a cool place for several months. And with sweetening and citric acid, the shelf life increases significantly.

Pumpkin and citrus fruits in a juicer

The drink in the juicer is prepared using steam. Pumpkin pieces are placed in the upper tray, and water is poured into the lower tray up to the mark. Oranges can also be sent to the unit or the juice can be extracted from them separately and mixed in at the end. But the main convenience is the ability to pour the product directly into a container for canning.

By placing sterile jars under the feed spout, they can be sealed immediately after filling. If all the products, including sugar, are placed in the tray together, then the process of brewing the drink will be reduced to cutting the ingredients, sterilizing the glassware and screwing on the lids. The juicer will do the rest.

Additional ingredients or spices require heating with the drink until it boils. Now the delicious preparation can be packaged.

Pumpkin goes well with apples, carrots, apricots, pears and other fruits. But berries should be introduced into recipes with caution. Some of them (such as blackberries) can change the color of the drink, making it gray. Use proven combinations or fruits that are similar in shade.

Mint will add refreshing notes to the drink. Boil it together with the juice, placing it in a gauze bag, and take it out before pouring it into jars.

Juice from pumpkin and orange with the addition of apples is well flavored with cinnamon. After all, where there are apples, there is a place for this spice. The spicy taste can be enhanced with cloves.

If the mixture is not diluted with water, then the same recipes produce a thick puree. In winter, it can be consumed as an independent dish or diluted with water in any proportions to obtain reconstituted juice. Pumpkin and orange concentrate saves storage space.

ADVIСE:
1. Choose a larger and more ripe pumpkin, with a tough skin. If the pumpkin is small and has a soft skin, this indicates that it has not ripened and has not accumulated the necessary nutrients and sweetness. Such a pumpkin will not please you with its aroma; it may smell like zucchini, even smell like cucumber, but not sweet pumpkin.
2. For juice, cut the pumpkin into small pieces. This way it will cook faster, which means that more nutrients and vitamins will remain in it than with long cooking.
3. To avoid oxidation, changes in taste and color of the juice, cook it in enamel containers.
4. If you want the pumpkin juice to be velvety, tender, and homogeneous, cook the pumpkin so that the water completely covers it. If the water is below the level of the pumpkin, many pieces will not be completely cooked. And there may be grains in the juice.
5. Pumpkin juice can be refined, giving it an unforgettable taste and aroma, by adding pieces of apricot, peach, nectarine or pear when cooking the pumpkin. I cooked with nectarines - it’s very tasty! The juice turns out great!
To do this, you must clean the fruits from skins, seeds or seeds. Cut into small pieces and cook with the pumpkin until soft. Then do everything indicated in the recipe.
6. It is better to chop the finished pumpkin and other fruits while warm. The warm mass is crushed better and turns out more tender, velvety, fluffy.
7. If you or your children are allergic to citrus fruits, then you can enrich pumpkin juice with vitamin C by adding ascorbic acid, 200-300 mg per 1 liter of juice. It is sold in every pharmacy, in powdered bags. Ascorbic acid should be added 2-3 minutes before the end of cooking, before pouring the juice into jars.
8. And the last tip: be sure to prepare pumpkin and applesauce for your kids. You will not regret! It turns out very tasty, aromatic and full of vitamins! To do this, take pumpkin and apples in equal parts, peel them and remove seeds. Cut into small pieces. Pour boiled water so that it completely covers the slices. Boil until tender, cool slightly and grind in a blender. Pour sugar to taste into the prepared mass, add a couple of packets of vanilla sugar and citric acid. Instead of sugar, I sometimes add condensed milk, it also turns out very tasty. You need to buy high-quality condensed milk and only from natural milk. Place the hot puree into jars, roll up and wrap. In the same way, you can prepare different pumpkin purees - with pears, carrots, peaches, nectarines. It is better not to use berries for puree. To my taste, pumpkin and berries do not have a specific combination, and the color is unsightly. It is better to choose fruits similar to the color of the pumpkin.
I hope you find my tips useful! Be healthy and enjoy a piece of rainbow autumn!

Important: the beneficial properties of canned pumpkin juice are lost if it is exposed to direct sunlight, since in this case the oxidation process will begin in the product. You can store the workpiece at room temperature, but in a dark place.

The benefits and harms of pumpkin juice

It's no secret that pumpkin juice is very beneficial for the body due to its rich chemical composition. It contains vitamins B, C, E and K, glucose and sucrose, carotenoids, pectin, starch, phytosterols and many useful macro- and microelements. Pumpkin contains five times more beta-carotene than carrots. Therefore, the product is very good for vision. Unfortunately, when pumpkin is boiled, some of the vitamin C and B2 are destroyed.

Thanks to the content of carotenoids, pumpkin juice prevents the formation of cancer cells, slows down the aging process, lowers cholesterol levels and improves vision. But you cannot exceed the dosage of such substances - this can have a bad effect on the liver. Ascorbic acid is indispensable during the flu and cold season. B vitamins improve metabolism and have a beneficial effect on the nervous system.

Pumpkin juice is great for insomnia or during times of stress. This drink is often recommended for restoring the liver and pancreas due to the presence of a large amount of folic acid. And vitamin B5 ensures healthy skin and mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines. Pumpkin juice is very useful for hypertension, anemia and low hemoglobin levels. But it is contraindicated in certain diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, acute pancreatitis and diarrhea.

Pumpkin juice should be consumed:

• for insomnia - add 2 teaspoons of honey, bring to a boil and drink hot;
• for swelling - 100 ml of juice per day;
• for constipation - every day 1/3 glass before meals for 2 weeks;
• for men with problems with the prostate gland - half a glass 2 times a day for a month;
• during pregnancy - half a glass daily;
• children - 1 glass per day, from 3 years old.

Pumpkin juice is an excellent alternative to store-bought drinks that contain a huge amount of preservatives, flavor enhancers and other “chemicals”. It’s easy to make such a drink with your own hands, and it will be completely natural. Homemade juice will not only quench your thirst and add variety to your diet, but will also serve as excellent support for the body exhausted by the long winter. You can add anything you wish to it, for example, dried apricots, cranberries, and then the drink will turn out even healthier and tastier, just lick your fingers. Bon appetit!
