AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted September 2, 2019 I completely suck at being at being a pioneer wife. Collected a ton of pears yesterday and went through all the proper steps and my juice tastes like crap. It actually tastes like stink bugs. No idea what I am doing wrong. Going to collect some more and try again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted September 2, 2019 ^ did you put in enough sugar? I do 1:1 juice to sugar mixture. I also add a little bit of lime juice. I just made some. See how it tastes tomorrow. It’s good on ice cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted September 2, 2019 didnt even get that far. The juice itself just smelled and tasted bad after juicing. Tried several different methods of juicing. Some worked better than others but all tasted and smelled bad. Am I missing something? Is that just the way it is supposed to be? As good as the fruit tastes I couldn't believe the juice was so different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted September 2, 2019 were they over ripe? i noticed the over ripe batches have an earthy taste. the straight juice tastes terrible imo. but boiled down with a bunch of sugar its good af Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted September 2, 2019 Probably nailed it. They were pretty ripe. Maybe I just had incorrect expectations as to the juice taste too. I will try again. I hate flying blind. Lol. Thanks for the input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted September 2, 2019 What's the ideal look? And what's over ripe look like? Gonna let the kids decide between a prickly picking or a Rick and Morty marathon while the ribs cook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
