2 lbs of fruit and veg pulp .

[Paprikaboy]

My better half has just come back from our local smoothie place with 2lbs of fruit and veg pulp.
Not sure what I can make with this.
Cakes or muffins maybe?
A challenged has been issued to make the best thing tomorrow afternoon.
Ideas gratefully received.

TIA

So, what did you do?

[Paprikaboy]

I daren't look in the bag at first.
Once I did I turned to my better half and said that we're not reallly gonna make anything with this are we?
So I dumped it in the compost and whipped up pancakes with a a compote from frozen mixed berries I found in the freezer.

Thanks for all the responses it was a lost cause really.
The smoothie place is quite new and they're a bit a bit disorganized but they said they were going to get the composting situation sorted so hopefully no more presents in future!

Juice pulp crackers are great!

2 lbs of pulp?

Can you take a picture? I'm just dying of curiosity to know what 2 lbs of veg/fruit pulp looks like.

Brandy!

Or make a general purpose jam to use on tortes, or dilute it for a syrup.

I just re read the post, is it all mixed up?? If so, I have no idea what to make with it! Lol

[Paprikaboy]

Yep. It's all mixed up.
Fennel, cucumber, ginger, mango, kiwi, apple, broccoli, strawberry and probably other stuff as well.

You'll need to taste it first. It may not be suitable other than as fertilizer. Seeds may be a problem. If it tastes okay, my thought would be to add water, boil it for a while, then pass through a food mill. Boil the resulting liquid into a syrup and from there, make either a jelly, jello salad mold, barbecue sauce, or salad dressing.

What about a fruit leather with the fruit pulp, and some fruit juice, or yes, quick breads. Or a fruit syrup to put over ice cream, or yogurt, or pancakes. You could even add the fruit pulp yo regular jam, and use it to make a bar(like those apricot jam bars). For the veg pulp, sautee it with onions, and garlic(a cup or so of pulp), & butter, evoo, and add it to cooked rice. Or use some of it in a pasta sauce. Or make a veggie lasagna.:) and can add some to meatballs.

My juicer came with a little booklet with some recipes for using up the leftover pulp after you make vegetable juice. Here is a link to the booklet as a PDF; the recipes start on p 38. You will have to play with them a bit since you can't control the actual fruit & veg content of the pulp, but it should be a good starting point. http://www.breville.ca/media/mediaappearance/4556/JE98XL.pdf

And here is a very promising recipe for a sweet bread made from whatever pulp is left in your juicer http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/jui...
A friend of mine makes little muffins from her juicer pulp, mixed with eggs and flour - she totally wings it on the content, and they often don't rise but they're very yummy.

I would taste to see what seasoning would work and try it in a banana or zucchini type bread recipe.
