Uses for fruit juice in cooking

Great news for chocolate lovers!  Good news for fruit juice lovers too!  A new chocolate has been invented that will have less fat than normal chocolate.  Why?  Because the designers behind it have replaced the fat with fruit juice.  Hurrah!  In fact, according to chemists at the University of Warwick, the brains behind the new product, up to 50 per cent of the chocolate’s fat content has been replaced with the juice.  They also claim that they have spent months making sure the ‘mouthfeel’ of the chocolate is perfect.

According to the scientists, people crave the indulgent sensations of chocolate which are brought on by the fat i.e. the silky smooth texture and the way it melts in the mouth.  But Dr Stefan Bon from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick has said he and his team have found a way to maintain those characteristics by using fruit juice.  Sounds delicious if you use us!

This got us thinking about other uses for fruit juice.  As well as drinking Simply Nectar you could use it for all manner of things.  Here is a little list of examples.

Ice lollies or frozen yoghurt

Fill some ice lolly moulds with Simply Nectar, add some water and stick them in the freezer for delicious ice lollies.  Or simply add some yoghurt to the juice and try making frozen yoghurt/ice cream.

Cereal topping

If you’re not a fan of milk perhaps use Simply Nectar for cereal.  Pour it on and enjoy a fruity sensation for breakfast…or lunch, or dinner – whenever!

Cake ingredient

Perhaps add some Simply Nectar to cake mixture to give it a fruity kick.  Or alternatively add it to icing sugar or butter icing to give a flavoured cake topping or filling.

Meat or fish flavouringRather than adding beer or wine to meat or fish, perhaps add a splash of Simply Nectar when it’s cooking.  It’ll soak into the meat/fish and add a fruity flavour.

Salad dressingCombine Simply Nectar with a vinegarette and drizzle over salad for an exotic twist on a regular dish.
