If you come from a place abundant of fruits (Davao or other parts of Mindanao), and you want to prepare and preserve fruit juices either for personal/household consumption or for small business, below are practical guides how to make Naranghita, Calamansi, Mango, Guyabano, Duhat, Papaya, Pineapple, and Guava fruit juices among others.



1. How to Make Naranghita (Szinkum mandarin) Juice and Calamansi Juice

a. Select fresh, fully ripe and sound fruits. Wash the fruits thoroughly with detergent to remove dust, soil and other extraneous matter. Rinse well in plenty of running water.

b. Cut the fruits crosswise into halves and extract the naranghita juice in a mechanical juice extractor or to a household citrus juice extractor. Squeeze kalamansi fruits by hand.

c. Strain the juice through a muslin bag to remove seeds. Sugar may or may not be added. It may be added in any desired proportion, according to the acidity of the fruit juice and the taste of the end-user.

d. To the clear juice, add sodium benzoate to give a final concentration of 0.05 per cent of the total volume. The sodium benzoate should be dissolved in a small quantity of water before adding to the fruit juice.

e. Heat the naranghita juice rapidly with constant stirring to 85 C and maintain at that temperature for about 5 minutes. Kalamansi juice is heated to 75 C for 5 minutes. Pour immediately into cans or bottles which have been previously boiled in water for about 3 to 5 minutes. Fill the container to overflowing and seal completely at once. Process for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Cool immediately, wipe containers dry and keep in a cool, dark place, preferably in the refrigerator.

f. To prepare the fruit drink, dilute with water to the desired consistency and add sugar to suit the taste.
