Make Rocket Melon Juice

Rocket Melon Juice on tray next to rock melon

Description

This is a great recipe to put together in Autumn because of all the different plum variety's around at the moment. Lots of colour and flavour to choose from, as well as tasting soooooooo... good.

The ginger is perfect in this juice to balance the sweetness of the fruits. It has a nice spice hit with a subtle tart flavour from the plums and a creamy sweetness from the rock melon. A great juice that is super easy to make!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 rock melon. Tip: A good rockmelon should feel heavy. Compare the weight of at least a few melons. Choose the one that is the heaviest and you will get the most juice.

  • 5 plums

  • 1 ginger (2cm)

Juicing Time: 3 mins
Juice Qty: 600ml

Preparation

Rock Melon

  • Remove the outer skin (you can juice it but it changes the taste)

  • Cut into small pieces to fit in the wide chute

  • You can leave the seeds intact as they easily go through the juicer

Plum

  • Cut in half either side of the seed

  • Remove the hard seed

  • Juice with skin on

Ginger

  • Cut off a 2cm thick piece

  • Cut into thin slices leaving the skin on

Method

  1. Start with the rock melon pieces. They press really easily, just add a few pieces at a time.

  2. Next add the ginger pieces.

  3. Finish making the juice by adding the plum slices in batches of 2 or 3 at a time.
