Be creative! Juice your favorite fruits. Mix fruit juices together either by
combining fruits in the food basket or by juicing them separately, then mix-
ing. Make your own fruit punches. Try combining your juices with carbon-
ated beverages or mixers. Canned pineapple juice is good when added to
nearly any juice. Mixing bland and tart fruits enhances the flavor of the
bland juices and mellow
s
the flavor of the tart ones. Sweeten to suit your
own tastes!
Making your own juice is fun and easy. Here are a few suggestions to
get you started, but after a few batches you’ll want to experiment on your
own.
