Steaming Currants & Berries

Hot juice extraction by steaming is ideal for currants (blackcurrants, redcurrants and whitecurrants), for hard fruits like crab apples and quinces, and for berries like blueberries, raspberries, loganberries and elderberries. Gentle cooking by the steaming method enhances the flavour of all these fruit juices. The clear juice in its unsweetened state is ideal for making jellies and can be added to apple juice for an exciting variety of flavours.

When steamed with sugar, delicious cordials can be produced in one easy process. Careful hot bottling preserves the cordial indefinitely so that you can savour the taste of summer even in the depths of winter – there is nothing quite like a hot blackcurrant or spiced berry cordial drink to warm you on a cold day! Cordials can also be used in homemade sorbets and icecreams.

We supply an ingenious stainless steel Fruit Steamer (pictured above).

Alternatively, if you already have or are considering our Pasteuriser, you may be interested in the Juice Extractor Top, which works in conjunction with the Pasteuriser to enable you to steam the above mentioned fruits!
