What Juices Can You Make at Home Besides Apple Juice?

Maximize Your Masito Juicer and Apple Crusher!

When most Estonians hear the word juicer, they immediately think of apple juice. And that makes sense – apples are the most common fruit in our gardens, and every autumn brings an abundance of them. But did you know that a Masito juicer and apple crusher aren’t just for apples? They can be used all year round to make delicious juices from a wide variety of fruits, berries, and even vegetables.

Here are some inspiring ideas and tips to help you get the most out of your juicer beyond apple season.

1. Pear Juice – Apple’s Best Companion

Pears are perfect for juicing and often make an excellent partner for apple juice. Pears add a gentle sweetness and a smoother texture.

???? Tip: If your pears are too firm, leave them at room temperature for a few days. Once they soften, the juice will be even sweeter.

2. Grape Juice – A Homegrown Delicacy

Many Estonian gardens grow juicy, vitamin-rich grapes. A Masito juicer extracts grape juice quickly and efficiently.

Grape juice is packed with antioxidants and can even serve as a starting base for homemade wine.

3. Rhubarb Juice – Spring Freshness in a Bottle

Rhubarb is one of the first harvests of spring and makes a wonderfully refreshing, tangy drink.

Rhubarb juice pairs beautifully with apple or strawberry juice to create a softer, more balanced taste. Served chilled in summer, it’s like a natural homemade lemonade.

4. Quince Juice – Estonia’s Lemon

Quince (also known as “Estonian lemon”) is famous for its sharp sourness and high vitamin C content.

Quince juice works both as a standalone vitamin shot or as a flavor booster for other juices. Just a splash of quince in apple juice adds a bright, refreshing twist.

5. Berry Juices – A Fresh Vitamin Boost

Our forests and gardens are full of berries that make incredible juices:

Blackcurrant – strong flavor, packed with vitamin C.

Redcurrant – light, tart, and great for blending.

Raspberry & Strawberry – sweet and aromatic.

Blueberry – a true superfood for immune support.

6. Carrot & Beet Juices – Vegetable Power

Masito juicers are not limited to fruit – they also handle vegetables with ease:

Carrot juice – energizing and full of beta-carotene.

Beet juice – known to boost hemoglobin and popular among athletes.

For extra flavor, combine them with apples or pears for a naturally sweet blend.

7. Juice Blends – Let Your Imagination Flow

One of the best ways to get creative with your Masito juicer is by making juice blends. Try combinations like:

Apple + Carrot + Ginger = refreshing, immune-boosting drink.

Pear + Blueberry = sweet, silky vitamin bomb.

Apple + Beet + Lemon = energizing morning juice.

Rhubarb + Strawberry = classic summer cooler.

Apple + Quince = tangy, vitamin-rich tonic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Juicing at Home

How do I make rhubarb juice at home?
Wash the stalks, chop them, and run them through the Masito apple crusher. Then press the juice with a Masito pneumatic juicer. Since rhubarb is quite tart, we recommend blending it with apple or strawberry juice.

Can I juice quince?
Yes! Quince is rich in juice and vitamins, and although it’s very sour, it works wonderfully when mixed with apple or pear juice. A Masito juicer extracts quince juice quickly and efficiently.

Which juicer is best for home use?
For home juicing, a Masito hand press or electric press is ideal, depending on your needs. For small batches, a hand press is enough; for larger harvests, an electric press with an apple crusher is the more practical choice.

What else can I juice besides apples?
You can make pear, grape, rhubarb, quince, berry juices (blackcurrant, redcurrant, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry), as well as vegetable juices like carrot and beetroot.

How long does homemade juice last?
Fresh juice keeps in the fridge for 2–3 days. For winter storage, it should be pasteurized or frozen. With Masito equipment, extracting juice is quick and efficient, making storage simple.

Conclusion

A Masito juicer isn’t just for apple season – it’s a year-round tool that lets you turn local fruits, berries, and vegetables into fresh, healthy juices. Whether you love the sweetness of pears, the tang of rhubarb, the vitamin punch of berries, or the earthy power of carrots and beets, your juicer can handle it all.
