Fresh Gingered Cherry Juice
Makes about 3 cups
Time 15 min
This thick, delicious juice is excellent over ice, or try it as a base for sauces, salad dressings or desserts. Cherry juice oxidizes quickly, turning from rosy red to deep brick in a few minutes; although the darker juice will taste just as delicious, adding ascorbic acid in the form of a vitamin C tablet keeps your juice a traditional cherry red.
