I think you are talking about making juice for canning not like in fresh juice form a juicer. Apple juice needs either unripe apples or some lemon...or the bacteria that allow it to ferment to taste good.

Moderation is the key. OJ is a great, healthy drink, but not if you drink it all day long. I think fruit sugar (fructose) is healthier than white sugar, but it still has calories and it still can trigger your hunger for sweets. I think fresh squeezed OJ is better, but store-bought is still pretty good. Be sure to get some pulp in the store-bought one too, so you get the fiber. I'm sure pasteurization decreases the Vitamin C content, but its still pretty high after that (according to the stats on the OJ labels). Coke is awful for you........too much corn syrup/sugar/phosphorus, etc. Also, it has caffeine, which will stimulate your appetite. I drink about a half a coke a day, and know that its hard to quit that stuff! Sounds like you're trying really hard to lose weight. I think getting away from sugar really helps to decrease your appetite. Good luck to you!

You may want to post this on the Harvest fourm they talk about canning and I think this question would be better answered there. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/harvest

I think it would be a do-at-your-own-risk process because as far as i can determine there are no tested instructions for doing it so the processing time required is a guess and would also vary according to jar size. The closest instructions I can think of would be doing tuna in oil and it requires 100 mins for pints or 1/2 pints only @ 11 lbs. adjusted for altitude. You could always contact NCHFP directly either from their website or their Facebook page and ask them for advice. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Dave
