It’s apple picking season, and with that comes canning and preserving. My grandmother used to make some of the best apple jelly, and lots of it. She lived in Canada, where I am originally from; nearly every package we ever received from her contained a jar of her apple jelly. That was one of the things we looked forward to in her care packages. Grandmother has since left this earth, and one of the things I desire to learn how to do is to make her apple jelly, so future generations do not lose yet another one of these dying arts.
Confronted by the many pounds of apples waiting to be processed and eaten, I found myself in need of an alternative to the cheesecloth grandmother used to squeeze out the juice. A friend recommended this Finnish-made, Mehu-Lissa 10 Liter Stainless Steel Steamer Juicer, a device that can save hours of work and produce faster results than hand-squeezing ever would.
From my perusing many reviews and my friend’s recommendation, it appears this is a product going on my wish list. It not only produces fruit juices, but can cook complete meals like roasts, soups and veggies…another time-saver product for this busy mom! Steaming fruits and veggies is the healthier alternative to boiling, as it preserves the all-important vitamins and minerals our bodies need.
This Steam Juicer is very easy to use and includes a 10.5 qt. steamer insert, 4.23 qt. water pot, silicon tube, s/s clamp, & lid. The steamer insert has a silicone tube that acts as a funnel with a little spigot on the outside so that when the steamed juice comes through the steamer, it then goes out of the spigot and into your jars, as my friend recounted to me. It comes with free shipping, free recipe book, free mixing bowl and a 10 year warranty on all steel parts. It will cost you $199.50 at www.podunk.com – There are lots of review comments there, too, describing other users’ experiences.
