Leave it in the fridge overnight and apparently it gives the fruit some fizz and makes it somewhat tangy. Anyone try it before? here's the link: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Carbonated-Fruit Thu Jul 05 13:43:59 -0700 2007 106205 bmubyzal 1 2722122 That will work with pure, unpasturized, preservative free apple cider and I believe I have seen instructions on using fresh pineapple juice, I think this someting I read about in Mexico. It takes more than 1 night though. Sometimes 2-3 weeks. The natural sugars in the juice start to ferment and begin to become alcohol. Once it starts to work you may want to loosen the cap a little to let off some of the gasses. My DH loves this and makes a batch when he cn get his hands on good apple cder.

The dry ice (CO2) just insinuates itself into the fruit as it melts and sublimates in the bottle, creating little bubbles -- carbonated fruit. Fermented fruit is a whole different process involving sugar, warmth, and time.

I'm going to look up a recipe for the fremented pineapple juice.Dommy or anyone lese haev experience Thu Jul 05 15:52:53 -0700 2007 2722245 10285 Candy 1 2722433 We used to put a nice warm watermelon from the field into a cooler with dry ice and let it sit for a few hours. Come quitting time, you could pull that out and 'plug' it; where you pop out a cork-sized piece of rind and a drain at the opposite end and screw in a bottle of cold vodka. Very nice happy hour treat or trick for your next barbeque. Don't let the kids get into one, though.

We also tried yogurt but that needed more time maybe?? Anyway, it was really cool - not fermented at all, but the I didn't put it in a bottle, but rather we put the dry ice in a soufle pan then suspended a paper plate with holes in it over the dry ice. Too close, it freezes, too far, it doesn't work. Too tight a seal, and you could have an explosion on your hands. Thu Jul 05 18:24:49 -0700 2007 2722002 15001 jsaimd
