To make 1 pint:

1 lb of apples ¼ lb of plums, with the pits removed

Run the apples through a juicer.

Put the plums in a blender with a bit of the apple juice, and blend until as liquefied as possible. Stir into the apple juice.

Squeeze the juice through a cloth bag to strain. (Squeeze into a bowl or serving vessel).

Serve chilled.

You can use what is called a jelly bag, or cheesecloth. What I find works the best is just to make a large, rectangular bag with cotton muslin or fine linen. It's cheap and reusable, you can make it as big or small as you need, and works much better than cheesecloth, which is too loose of a weave.

2 ½ lb rhubarb 8 cups water ½ cup honey

Cut rhubarb into 1” pieces. Cook in hot water until soft (not boiling). Strain out the rhubarb pieces. Stir in the honey. Chill.

You can add more honey to taste. I found that ½ cup was sufficient, as it sweetened it without overwhelming the rhubarb with honey flavor. However, you can add more honey if you want.

The rhubarb can be used again in recipes that call for cooked rhubarb. I made mine into a crumble, but it was more mushy than it would have been normally because it had already been cooked. A simple dessert is to stir honey or sugar and cinnamon into the rhubarb.

¼ cup dried lavender buds 6 ¾ cup hot water ½ cup honey 1 cup lemon juice ½ pound dry ice

Steep the lavender buds in the water for at least 10 minutes. Strain out and discard the buds. Stir in the honey to dissolve while the water is still warm. Stir in the lemon juice. Add any more water if necessary to make 2 quarts. Add the dry ice. Serve after allowing to carbonate for about 15 minutes, or to store, wait for all the dry ice to dissolve, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.

¾ cup sugar ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp grated nutmeg ¼ tsp allspice 1/8 tsp salt 1 egg 4 egg whites 1 ½ cups milk 1 ½ cups half-and-half

Combine sugar with the spices in a large bowl. Add the egg and egg whites and beat on high speed for 5 minutes.

Heat 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly, until it is steaming (not boiling). Slowly mix half of that into the egg mixture. Stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk in the pan. On medium heat, cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is steaming again and thickened enough to thinly coat the back of the spoon. Do not boil it.

Remove from heat and stir it frequently as it cools for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk and half-and-half. Cover and chill.

8 cups filtered water 1 cucumber, about 8” long

Run the cucumber through a juicing machine. You should get about 1 cup of juice. Discard the pulp. Combine juice with the water. Served chilled.

For a brighter flavor, add ¼ cup lemon juice or lime juice, and ¼ cup sugar or honey.

1 pound watermelon flesh and juice (rind removed) 2 cups water ¼ cup sugar

You can pick out the watermelon seeds if you wish to take the time, but it is not necessary, as they become blended into nothingness.

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly until there is absolutely no pulp. Chill before serving.
