Fruit is pretty expensive where I live (southeastern PA) - pineapples
are $4 each. watermelons are $5, but saw them at $10 each. oranges,
peaches, etc. Nothing is really cheap. Canteloupes and honeydews (my
favoriates) always around $3 each or so.
I'd love to make my own homemade juice, esp. pineapple, but just seems
too expensive.
Of course, it's probably better to just eat the fruit. But was just
curious if anyone makes their own juice and how much you typically
spend if you do. I hate buying commercial juice from concentrate, and
sometimes I just crave a tall glass of pear juice (so i usually resort
to just drinking the nasty syrupy juice of pears in cans heheh)
Grape juice is really easy, if you have a source for grapes. My
farming grandma would just dump about 2 C. of whole, ripe Concord
grapes into the bottom of a 2-quart canning jar, add some sugar (about
3/4 C., I think, but do it to taste), and then fill it with boiling
water and seal it up. When it was cool and the lid "popped," we
stored it in the fridge. To drink it, strain the grapes out.
My kids LOVED that kind of grape juice and always wanted me to make
some. As I recall, somehow I made a huge mess in the kitchen
(thinking purple grape stain, sticky sugar) so I only did it twice. I
let my mom make it from then on.
