Hi,

Does anyone have a rough idea of what a quart/liter of raspberries
will yield in juice? I realize that it will vary, I just need a rough
approximation.

Also, does anyone happen to know what a quart/litre of raspberries
weighs?

Thanks.

Rory,
The BALL complete book of home preserving says this about raspberries.

1 quart whole weighs 1 pound or 500 g and measures in at 4 cups.
1 quart you would need to purchase 2 pint containers.

1 quart berries that are later crushed will yield 1 and 3/4 to 2 cups
crushed berries. So I would say that 1 quart raspberries will give you a
little under 1 and 1/2 C juice.

That is my estimate.

Are you going to can the pure juice or make jelly? The preserving book says
to crush the berries and let them sit in a colander lined with cheesecloth
or a jelly bag to drip.But ther are other ways to get raspberry juice. I
have a vegetable and fruit juicer that will strain out the seeds. I have
also seen some steam juicers, not sure how those work.

According to the Certo instruction sheet, 5 pints of crushed
raspberries should yield 4 cups of juice. 4 pints of crushed berries
will give you 4 cups of mashed berries for jam.

Thanks both of you, that's what I needed to know.

I'm going to turn the juice into wine and then into vinegar.
