*Add 1/2 to 1 cup sugar per steamer insert of fruit, depending on your tastes, and if the juice will be
used as a beverage or punch base. To add sugar, layer fruit in steamer insert and sprinkle sugar
over the top.
**Pulp left in insert may be put through a food mill or pureed and used for jam. See recipes given
later in this booklet.
NOTE: Along with the juice extracted from the fruit, there is some condensation of water mixed in the
juice. There is more condensation with a lower, slower boiling and with longer cooking times. Juice
is extracted the quickest and with less condensation when water is kept rapidly boiling over high heat.
Beware of boiling the pan dry.

MULTIPURPOSE STEAMER
Steamed foods are becoming more and more popular because they are tastier and more
nutritious. When you cook foods in steam, you don't leach out vitamins and minerals into
cooking liquid.
You can cook a variety of vegetables at once, such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips, whole
cauliflower, etc., and each comes out perfectly done with its own distinctive flavor. In one
pot. In about 20 minutes! Saves time and energy.
Use it for steaming holiday puddings, making brown bread, cooking homemade sausages,
cooking Polish or Bratwurst, or other favorite sausages, corned beef, chicken, fish, and
shellfish, too. Vegetables can be steamed right along with the meats by adding them to the
pot during the last 20 minutes of cooking. (Imagine what you can do on a camping trip
with just one burner.)
RECIPES FOR JUICES & FRUITS
You'll find that juicemaking is a much more convenient, simple, cleaner process than it
ever used to be by the old jelly bag method. It is simple to make applesauce. Simply cut
up the apples and steam until soft, then put through a strainer or food mill to strain out
seeds and cores. Reheat with some of the juice that was extracted, or add juice back to
sauce and boil down until thickened, then seal in canning jars or freeze.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH JUICE?
To get started, we give recipes for juices, jellies, syrups, punches, fruit soups, puddings,
and other basic uses. You may wish to bottle unsweetened juice when the fruits are
abundant and make jellies later.
Juices may be used for winemaking. Follow directions in winemaking books and pamphlets
for the use of clear juice. Extract the juice from fruit for children to drink, then use the
remaining pulp to begin winemaking.
You can make all sorts of vegetable juices, too. Extra cabbage, onions, tomatoes, when in
season can be combined to make vegetable bouillons, and can be later used in soups,
stocks, sauces, etc. To make a pulpy juice, all you need to do is stir the vegetables in the
steamer insert periodically while you are steaming them. The remaining pulp makes an
excellent puree to be used in spaghetti sauces, thick soups, meat mixtures, or casseroles.
