Carrot juice for the winter at home: a quick recipe
Of course, fresh juices are much healthier than their canned counterparts, but canning vegetables is a great way to preserve the harvest and save time in the future.
This is a recipe for a concentrated drink, so when you drink it, you can use it either neat or diluted with water, or make a cocktail with another juice.
You will need:
- Carrots - 3 kg;
- Sugar - 750 grams;
- Water - 1.5 l;
- Citric acid - half a teaspoon;
- Vegetable oil - a tablespoon;
- Orange / lemon - 3 pcs.
Preparation:
- My carrots. Carefully scrape off the skin with a knife.
- Cut into small pieces, or into circles and mash with a blender.
- If you want the drink to be obtained without carrot pulp, you can strain the puree through a sieve, then you add less water to the juice.
- Pour the resulting liquid into a saucepan.
- Put the pan on the fire and bring the carrot juice to a boil.
- In the meantime, we sterilize the jars by steam, or in the oven.
- We measure how many products have turned out. For a liter of pure carrot juice, add half a liter of syrup.
- We make syrup: 250 grams of sugar per liter of water, add citric acid, boil.
- In the meantime, you can squeeze out citrus fruits (if desired, this is optional) using a juicer.
- We mix the syrup with carrot and citrus juice, pour it into jars, carry out the pasteurization process, so that after it rolls up.
Pasteurization process: liquid is poured into jars, which are placed in a saucepan and poured up to the neck with water. Then the pot with the jars is put on the fire, and the water is brought to a temperature of 90-95 degrees. You can wait for the water to boil, but not necessarily.
After the cans are rolled up, they are turned upside down, placed on fur coats or towels, and wrapped with something warm. This is done so that the pasteurization process is completed and the bacteria preserved for the winter are destroyed. Then the can will definitely not rip off.
Vegetable oil, and in general, fat in drinks containing carrot juice is simply necessary for better absorption by the body of carotene contained in carrots.

But you shouldn't get carried away with it. It is advisable to drink no more than half a liter of such pleasure per day.
Ingredients:
- Carrots - 1 kg;
- Pumpkin - 2.5 kg;
- Water - 0.5 l;
- Sour cream - a teaspoon;
- Additional products on request.

- We pass the products through a juicer, or we puree with a blender and squeeze through a gauze cloth.
- We combine two juices. If the mixture is too thick for you, add water to your taste.
You can drink fresh juice like this, or you can add strawberries or apple juice to your taste. There is no need to add sugar during cooking, because vegetables contain a very large amount of glucose. For example, the sugar content in carrots is equal to the daily requirement for humans.
Keep in mind that pumpkin juice is not easy to squeeze out, and more pulp will come out than liquid, but the concentration in the mixture should be as follows: one part carrots to two parts pumpkin.
Carrot juice without juicer
Of course, making juice in a juicer or juicer is not difficult, but if you do not have such devices at home, do not despair.
There are two ways to squeeze fresh carrot juice:
- The first way. It was already discussed above - this is squeezing juice with a blender. A food processor can also do this function. With its help, the puree will turn out to be even softer and more tender and will give more liquid. You can not squeeze the puree, you can squeeze it through a coarse sieve and get nectar (juice with a small amount of pulp), or squeeze the puree through cheesecloth and get a clean drink, almost without pulp.
- Second way. This is a longer and more complex option. But, in this case, you will have almost no waste. You can grate the carrots and squeeze the juice from the resulting shavings. This will give you pure, pulp-free juice and carrot shavings that you can use for your carrot. Such healthy pastries will surely delight you with their simplicity, and your family - with indescribable taste.
Carrots are very useful for vision, growth of nails and hair, but it is worth remembering that too much juice used can lead to many unpleasant consequences, such as "carotene jaundice", vomiting, diarrhea, etc.

Harvesting carrot juice with pulp for the winter
Ingredients:
Preparation
To prepare carrot juice, we select ripe, juicy fruits, wash them thoroughly, peel them and grind them with a blender. Add water to the resulting mass and set to cook on low heat until the carrots are completely softened. Then we pass everything through a juicer twice, and beat well with a mixer. Add sugar syrup to the resulting puree, stir, heat the mixture to a boil, let stand for 7 minutes and pour it into prepared sterilized jars. We immediately roll them up with lids. When the juice has cooled down, put it in the pantry for storage.
As long as it is warm outside and the sun is shining, we enjoy the warmth and do not think that winter will come and it will become frosty and cold outside the windows. Summer and early autumn are rich in fruits and vegetables, but in winter there is an acute lack of vitamins. However, if we take care of conservation in summer and autumn and prepare a drink in advance from ripe fruits or vegetables, then this will brighten up our winter weekdays and give us strength and mood.
When preserving fruit and vegetable juices, you need to take into account a number of features of the vegetables and fruits themselves and adhere to their layout, based on your tastes. For example, if you have an upset stomach, then preserving carrot juice with apple juice will do you little benefit.
To determine the benefits that vegetables and fruits can bring, you need to know what substances and vitamins they contain.
Vitamin A, which is abundant in pumpkin, fish oil, carrots, bell peppers and fermented milk products, participates in the synthesis of proteins, improves vision and liver function, and normalizes metabolism.
Orange, avocado, bananas, parsley, walnuts, various cereals and cereals contain vitamin B. It is involved in the normalization of the digestive, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
Vitamin C found in oranges, tomatoes, apples, peaches and apricots. It participates in metabolic processes in the body and prevents the development of tumor cells.
Parsley, nettle and fermented milk products contain vitamin D, which promotes bone growth by depositing calcium in them. It is formed under the influence of sunlight from provitamins that enter the body from plants.
Vitamin E is found in parsley and grains. It helps to restore the reproductive and immune systems of the body.
Vitamin PP found in carrots and tomatoes. It helps to normalize blood cholesterol levels, and also restores the heart and blood circulation in the body.
So, from which fruits and vegetables the juice preservation will occur, the decision has been made. Now you need to decide how to do it: by pasteurization or hot filling. The method of pasteurization means heating it to a boil and then pasteurizing it in cans, while the hot filling method is boiling juice with further filling into cans and closing them.
It should also be borne in mind that carrot juice is of two types: in the form of puree, that is, with pulp, and in pure form. This will also determine what you choose to make it - a blender or a juicer. Nutritionists have come to the conclusion that juice with pulp is more useful for the body, since it contains a lot of fiber.
When using the pasteurization method, the selected fruits and vegetables must be skipped through a blender or juicer... If you get too thick mashed potatoes, then using gauze or a strainer, you need to get rid of the pulp and, adding a little water, bring the resulting juice to a boil, and then pour into sterilized jars and pasteurize for 10-15 minutes. Then remove the cans from the water, roll up the lids and store them in the pantry.
Nowadays, the hot-filling method is popular as it takes less time to make the juice. With this method, vegetables and fruits are passed through a blender or juicer and, if necessary, cleaned of the pulp. Now water and sugar are added to the pure carrot drink. This mass is boiled for 5-10 minutes, and then poured into sterilized jars and rolled up with lids. If the fruit is sour for preservation, then more sugar is added.
Useful properties of homemade carrot juice
Carrots are a herbaceous plant that is important to light, warm. The place of origin of this plant Afghanistan is considered... Carrots were brought to Europe in the X-XIII centuries. In the 17th century, Dutch breeders developed the modern orange carrot variety.
This vegetable is based on beta-carotene, which gives it its red-orange color. In the liver, as a result of oxidative breakdown, it is converted into vitamin A (retinol).
A large amount of vitamin A is found in bell peppers, carrots, pumpkin, green onions, parsley, rose hips, sea buckthorn, peaches, apricots, as well as in beef liver and fish oil.
Vitamin A is involved in the body's redox processes and the normalization of metabolism. By regulating protein synthesis, it stimulates the growth of nerve cells and slows down the aging process.
Beta carotene synthesizes visual pigment, and thus, restores the retina and vision.
Carrots are used in the preparation of various dishes and salads, but the greatest benefit comes from the use of this vegetable in a concentrated form, that is, in the form of juice.
In modern medicine, medicines in the form of extracts from various plants are becoming more widespread. Therefore, concentrated carrot juice with the addition of other vegetable juices is the best way to prevent various diseases and strengthen the whole body.
