17 Grapefruit in the Mail

What happens when a box arrives at your house, heavy and burdened down with grapefruit?

Well, you get your tools out:

And get to work:

And work it was, as you can see nearly four quarts of raw juice, pulp, and seeds:

But only the grunt work is done, as now the slow burn of straining nearly a gallon of juice and pulp begins, paced out at six ounces a time, with a bowl in the back to collect the spent pulp:

At the end, what we have is two solid quarts, another pint, and tiny glass of thick and tangy juice:

And a pint of pulp left over:

That was just discarded. I usually like my juice pulpy (or "with flesh" as the Latvians say), but this juice is so thick and mineral rich that it just didn't matter.

Thanks ma.
