Not sure yet on > that since that seems like maybe too much sugar. Carrots and prune juice are high in sugar as well. When I make carrot/apple juice I do a ratio of 3 pounds of carrots to one Granny apple. The GS apple is tart enough to take the nasty sweet edge off the carrots. When I get carrot juice at a local Mexican restaurant they always give me some slices of lemon or lime to squeeze into the drink, a Mexican custom I assume. > The apples were .59 cents a pound though and I honestly > do not think I ever saw fruit that low priced(too bad I do > not like to eat them). I normally don't enjoy raw apples unless the weather has been real warm. Sweet isn't a favorite flavor for me. Raw fruits plain tend to be too cold for my system during the winter. I have less of a problem if I cook with them however. Stuffed with organic grapes and flavored with warming cinnamon I have less of a problem. I imagine dipped in melted dark chocolate with be another way to address my problem with the sweetness and rawness of fresh apples. Someday when I'm feeling particularly immortal I'll experiment with that thought. > I got them at a chinese market here. Organic? If they didn't say so, they probably aren't. Organic never would have mattered to me until I bought into a biodynamic farm one summer. Every week they gave me 3/4 bushel of fresh veg. That was enough food to force me to eat food from no other source. It made a major difference in my health. Not only were the veggies really fresh and fairly local but they were only what would grow that week of the season. They suited my body as the weather of the season affected it.

For a part of a summer breakfast I soak a couple prunes in water over night. By the morning they've rehydrated a bit and also shared their juices with the water.
