Apple Fig Blackcurrant Pear & Carrot Juice in a glass

After overloading you with cake last week I really thought I should lighten the load today. So that’s what I’ve done. I’ve taken some ordinary apple juice and added a basketful of wholesome ingredients to bring to you, fresh from my blender, this superbly happy, blushing in the glass, Apple Fig Blackcurrant Pear & Carrot Juice. It sits there looking smug. A bit like a triple chocolate layer cake… only ever so slightly more healthy. And more pink.

Definitely more pink.

Um… do I actually need to continue or has the list of goodies thrown into the mix and the beautiful colour already sold you on this wonderful juice?

I’ve classed this drink as a juice, due to the large volume of liquid to fruit, but really, it’s midway between a juice and a smoothie (due to the large volume of solid fruit & veg blended in). No really, it’s definitely a juice… I think. Regardless, it is a fresh, fruity, bounty of flavours all partying in my blender like it’s 1999.

If this fruity drink tickles your fancy you’ll love my Apple, Lemon and Mint Fruit Cooler and my Apple, Pineapple & Ginger Juice. They are both fresh, fruity and scrumptious.

Ingredients

▢ 750 ml/ 3 cups Cloudy apple juice (not from concentrate)
▢ 1 Medium carrot (50g/ 2oz)
▢ 50 g/ 2 oz Blackcurrants (fresh or frozen)
▢ 1 Fig
▢ 1 Ripe pear
▢ 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Instructions

Begin by chopping the carrot roughly and plunging into boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften it. Drain and plunge into iced water to stop the cooking process
Peel & core the pear and roughly chop
Put all of the ingredients into a blender and whizz for 1-3 minutes until smooth
Allow the froth to settle for 5-10 minutes, stir and pour into a 1 litre container
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, shaking gently before decanting into glasses

Notes

1. The quantities listed make approximately 1 litre of juice. 2. Natural separation may occur when stored in the fridge – just shake gently before serving 3. I peeled my pears since I do not have a super-power blender. If you have such a blender then (I’m jealous) you could try leaving the skin on the pear. Let me know how it goes if you try it.
