IMP, I simply pressed them in a mill, results is juice with no seed nor skins. You can see pictures above in this thread. Then i cooked'em just a bit, to keep that fresh taste and color -and mostly because I had very little, and wanted to fill a few jars Pure stuff, nothing else but heirlooms.

BTW, how do you folks store your goodies? I wanted an easy "movable" system that protected the jars and also allowed them to be "relocated" if needed (I just went through a major move.) Also, a packaging system in case I wanted to gift some. I used some scrap lumber to build these.

I made 2 sizes, pints and quarts. They're tall enough (for each size) so they can be stacked, top boxes only rest on the edges of the box below -never on the jars. Easy little projects to knock together while recycling a valuable natural resource.
