Sweat onions
Sweating means cooking the onions in
their own juices, with the addition of a
little fat if necessary.
Cut the onions up into small pieces
and place them in a solid cooking
container with a little butter.
Cover the container with foil that is
temperature-resistant up to 100°C
and resistant to steam.

Extracting juice with steam
This appliance is ideal for extracting
juice from soft, firm and hard fruit.
It is best to use overripe fruit, as the
riper the fruit, the greater the quantity of
juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also
produce a more intense flavour.
Preparation
Sort and clean the fruit. Cut out any
blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and
morello cherries as these are bitter.
Berries do not need to have their stalks
removed.
Cut larger fruit such as apples into
chunks of approximately 2cm in size.
The harder the fruit, the smaller the
pieces should be.
Tips
– Try experimenting with mild and tart
fruit.
– Adding sugar will increase the
quantity of juice produced and
improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit
with sugar and leave to absorb for a
few hours before juicing. For 1kg of
sweet fruit add 50–100g of sugar,
and for 1kg of tart fruit add 100–
150g of sugar.
– If you wish to bottle the juice rather
than consume it straight away, pour it
whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles,
and then seal immediately with
sterilised tops.
