Yes, that's an error in the book. OJ from concentrate is not legal.

Sorry, I have never made my own. Hopefully, someone else can give you some

guidance on how to reduce it.

Orange Juice Concentrate

In my BTVC book, Elaine has a recipe using orange juice concentrate.

I know this was a mistake and that it's no longer legal. Am I

correct? Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone knows how I can

concentrate orange juice myself. I assume I can just boil it down,

but for how long and by how much should I reduce the volume? If I'm

mistaken and there is a legal concentrate, which one is it?

Thanks, Sharon

I called the recipe to Elaine's attention but the book had already gone to

press. please

don't use frozen orange juice concentrate for the Orange Mousse recipe.

Yes, it is illegal.

Concentrating 2 cups of legal orange juice down to about 6 tbsp

should

be about the correct volumes to start and end with. I haven't tried

this but think that a low to medium heat should be best to use to

simmer the juice to reduce it.

There are no legal frozen concentrates.

You can boil it down for the flavor but will destroy the Vitamin " C. "
