Tropical Sunrise


Tropical Sunrise...
Allright, this one I got out of Edwin's book of juice recipes, here's what it has in it:


2 red delicious apples
1 papaya
1 mango
1 kiwi
1/2 pineapple
1/2 pint of raspberries
2 cups crushed ice

Ok with these fruits it gets a little tricky...with the Papaya and Kiwi I went ahead and quartered them and then used a filet knife to separate the fruit from the skin.  The mango is a tricky son of a gun...once you start cutting into it, it starts to fall apart so you end up wasting a lot of juice on your cutting board and not the juicer...so here's what I did.  Get a potato peeler and use it to remove the skin from the mango, don't cut it up quite yet just treat it like you would a potato.  Then use the same filet knife to cut the fruit away from the seed...its ok if you skin the seed a little, the juicer will be able to handle it.  Keep cutting off chunks of fruit until you're left with just the seed.  This is the way i've been doing it and it works pretty good so far.  You can also put it in the freezer JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT, enough to firm it up..that way the juice is somewhat frozen and won't go all over the place when you cut into it...just dont forget you have it in the freezer.  The pineapple is pretty straight forward, just slice it up the same way you would if you were just going to eat it...and the raspberries just rinse them off and throw them in the juicer...hope you like it!!!  Even though this is all fruit you can add a few vegetables to it to make it a little healthier...
