Posted by recipes On November - 11 - 2007

DRACULA’S PUNCH

The dark red color is just as inviting as the exotic taste of this juice. Sweet and sour compliment each other in a delightful way and make this juice rather addictive. A natural high without having to drink blood! 

Ingredients:
*  2 apples
*  1 cup of raspberries
*  2 cups of black grapes

Machine set up:
*  Use a living juicer to maximize the enzymes and health benefits.                                                                                         
* First place the Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw.  Then attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap, turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0. 
*  Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet, in order to catch the pulp.
*  Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
*  cut the apples into 6 slices and remove the core
*  turn the notch on the Juicing Nozzle to 1
*  then juice the apples, alternating with the grapes and raspberries
*  make sure to keep 2 slices of apple until the end, they will clean out the softer leftovers of the berries inside the drum

Preparation time: 8 min
Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Crisp apples juice much easier than over ripe apples.  The best time to make fresh apple juices is when they are in when the apples are harvested totally fresh. The seeds of the raspberries don’t disturb the juice but you might want to consider using seedless grapes for this recipe if you are sensitive to finer tastes. Grapes with seeds are part of Mother Nature’s original product and contain valuable phosphorus. The decision is up to you and you may change from day to day as your taste buds vary. To decorate your drink, hang two grapes from the rim of your glass.

Nutritional information:
Apples are known to assist the body in building resistance to infection as they stimulate the digestion. They are also known to help with weight loss. Berries help to keep the blood alkaline.
