Blood Grapefruit Juice
Slice the grapefruit in half.
Set the pulp lever for minimum or maximum.
Press cut side down on top of dome.
Press down, cupping hand around the rind while machine removes the juice.
This made 4 oz. of juice from 1 grapefruit.
Lift pitcher straight up to remove and pour into a glass drinking container.
3 fruits made 14 oz. of juice.
You can freeze some of this into cubes and add one to your smoothie for a burst of flavor.
Discard or eat the sweet pulp.
Save and plant the seeds to grow your own tree. The peels and pulp can also be used in your garden on top of the soil, not touching the plant but under the plant that you want to fertilize or it can be added to your compost bin.

Kelly's Pink Lemonade
3 lemons
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups water or filtered water
1 frozen pineapple and grape juice cube
1 maraschino cherry
Follow the instructions from above but remove the larger dome, leaving the smaller one underneath which is used for lemons and limes. 3 lemons made 4 oz. of juice.
Stir lemon juice and sugar in a pitcher. Slowly add the water while stirring the mixture. In a glass or crystal pitcher, it's best to use a food safe plastic utensil to stir with. I substituted the stainless steel one because I couldn't find my plastic one this morning. All citrus drinks should be stored and served from a glass container because of the acid content in the fruit.
Drink this just as it is, over ice for lemonade or add a frozen grape juice cube or 1 tablespoon Welches frozen grape juice concentrate or grape syrup. This will turn it to a pink color. You can add more sugar if you will be adding a lot of ice to the drink. As the juice cube melts it will turn the drink a pink tinted color.
To make the pineapple grape juice cube: send only the peelings and core from a organic pineapple through a regular fresh fruit juicer after you have sent some clusters of organic purple grapes with the stem through the machine. We will be showcasing this type of juicer in a later blog. Stir and pour this into a ice cube tray and place into the freezer. After it is frozen, place the cubes in a content and dated labeled freezer bag and use as needed. Some times if there is just one tray, I will place the juice filled ice cube tray inside a plastic or zip-lock bag and freeze it.
