Lilikoi juice

[rocketman]

Anyone with any tips to making lilikoi juice, or am I just stuck with pressing the seeds in a strainer with my fingers?
Thanks in advance.

ETA: I use cheesecloth, and squeeze. Reminds me of how Tutu used to do it. JMO.

I just leave the seeds in--adds extra crunch.
Haven't tried it on lilikoi yet, but got an electric citrus juicer for about $10 at TargMart or somewhere...

Bought this small potato ricer for making noodles but it also works for straining lilikoi juice. And it's been used only for lilikoi since I've had it.

For one or two fruits, a strainer & pressing with a spoon back will do, but for large amount of fruits, we found that a stainless steel food mill (aka Mouli, Foley or French food mill/press) works well. currently we use only our smaller one that we purchased at the Hilo Macys (Oh, to have that really large kitchen of past, but ours now is small...so downsize the toys), but a large 5 qt one makes fast work of the fruits.

What you get is juice, a thicker puree that usually is on the sieve bottom, and the seeds with drier pulp around them. The more you mill the drier the pulp. We usually just freeze the seeds/dry pulp then whenever we have lemonade that we want a lilikoi zing (like, ALWAYS want that) just add a frozen chunk of seeds/dry pulp to the pitcher.

One of our good friends sometimes makes his lilikoi butter with the pulp out of the fruit, seeds and all, makes for a nice topping on things like ice cream, where the color of the black seeds "pop" in a sea of light color.

Oh you could just all avoid ALL that nonsense and send those Lilikoi direct to me ova here on the mainland. I would be FOREVER grateful [:I] missing me some Lilikoi, really bad none sells it over here

Hi, I've got a real easy way of making lilikoi juice....

Spoon the fruit out into your blender. Add a little water and hit the pulse button quickly a few times, enough to break the sac that binds the juice and seeds together, but not enough to grind the seed.
Pour thru strainer.
Drink and enjoy!
