I wish I&#8217;d heard about this tool years ago. This was my first year of a great grape harvest, and I steamed out pounds of juice. We&#8217;ll have jelly forever!

I&#8217;m glad you loved your steam juicer. After seeing how much more juice my friend, Jeri, gets from an equal amount of fruit, I certainly decided that I needed one, too!

They grew very big, but never got hard and crunchy. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Latisha Gordon<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Cohutta, Georgia<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This usually happens because of heat and\/or not enough water. Often if you pull your rubbery carrots, wash and refrigerate them in cold water, they&#8217;ll crisp up. To crisp a larger amount, use a bucket of ice water in a cool spot to soak them. Usually, an overnight treatment will do the trick. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carrot recipes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I know how to can plain old carrots, and have a glazed carrot recipe.

I also use them in a mixed pickle and carrot relish. I make most of my carrot recipes after I have canned plain or mixed carrots. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juice steamers Not so much a question, but a thank you for the little blurb about juice steamers.
