Throw in stevia to taste. It is delicious and has all of the healthy components. I make sorbet with a mixture of aronia, strawberry and blueberry. Throw in stevia to taste.

I have found that Aronia juice can be made by freezing the fruit first (freezing breaks down the cellular tissue for better juice production) and pressing the fruit. The pressed juice tastes much better. This is because the pulp contains the natural chemicals called proanthocyanidins that most likely cause the bitter and astringent taste. A masticating juicer will allow pulp into the juice, so do not use one of those either. By pressing the fruit, you can enjoy a better juice flavor without getting the pulp. You can also use a steam juicer. I make about 8 ounces of juice per pound of fruit. A small fruit press can cost between $100 and $300. I use the juice for making jelly, ice cream and for drinking.

Harris Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:05:05 +0000 http://www.antioxidant-fruits.com/?p=89#comment-667 I have tried aronia berries, mainly to make jelly and juice to drink, and found them to be difficult to use. They are a more dense berry and by making the jelly recipe as noted here I found the jelly didn't set up well. Next I used my food processer to chop the berries and then used the recipe as directed except added a bit more water. I used a collander to strain the mixture after cooking and used the juice to make the jelly. This time it set up within 24 hours and the flavor was better than the first try. The juice seems bitter with a lot of sugar needed to make it palatable. Once we mixed it with grape juice to help the flavor. We ended up drinking 8 oz each morning like it was medicine. It was never a nice, flavorful drink. We only drank it because it was "good for us". Any suggestions from someone who knows how to make it taste good, too?

I have about 25 plants and they are the best low maintenance berry plants that I have found yet. I have sandy soil that gets really dry in the summer and the plants seem to take it well, also no problems with pests so I dont spray them either. I use them for wine , but after reading some of the other recipes my wife may try making some jam, syrup , and baking with them. They are also quite ornamental, they are covered in white flowers in the spring, glossy green in summer, and turn a bright red in the fall before dropping there leaves.
