Juices are best fresh. However, my husband gets up at 5:30 a.m. and leaves a lil after 7 to avoid the traffic and get to work early. There's no way I'm getting up with him to make him fresh squeezed juice every morning. So we store the juice in glass jars and make do with that. Juices can be frozen too.<br /><br />@Joyce, I have yet to make proper ginger ale with yeast though. :-)<br /><br />@Sara Louise, Thanks. Stop by anytime. ;-)I just love the colors of blood oranges.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-56716984003896402762013-01-28T22:20:14.458-05:002013-01-28T22:20:14.458-05:00Agree with Zeynep - juices do lose their vitamins ...Agree with Zeynep - juices do lose their vitamins if they sit for days. Best to juice right before you drink.

I miss my pazars! Just a quick comment: you state that you juice them at once and keep them in the refrigerator. One thing my mom has been telling me that juices lose their vitamins in a few hours. I do not know whether there is any scientific evidence for that or whether it is just my mother talking but you may want to check that out.Z's Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833160010708251129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-19868086876551636992013-01-28T08:50:37.913-05:002013-01-28T08:50:37.913-05:00This is awesome!

I love fresh fruit juice- have been enjoying nar and portakal very much but don't have them as often as I would like because it seems like such a lot of effort- but I was intrigued to read your post that you make juices to keep all week long. I often find that the flavor of the juice changes after even a few hours let alone days. It would be great to know if you had a secret that would enable me to always have some fresh juice on hand.
