2 in 1 Recipe: Berry Blast Juice & Peanut Butter and Berry Bread

After the sad demise of my old juicer (I burned out the motor) I finally have a new juicer and am constantly coming up with ways to put it to good use. This is one of those ways...

Utensils you will need:
Juice Extractor
Containers to store juice
Large mixing bowl for pulp (for bread)
Bundt Pan (for bread)
Flour Sifter (for making the bread as fluffy as possible)

Ingredients:
4 -Red Delicious Apples (remove core seeds for bread)
2 - 16oz packages of strawberries
2 - 8oz packages of blackberries
1 - 16oz package of cherries pitted, stems removed
3c - Self rising flour (for bread)
1/2c - butter melted (for bread)
3/4c - honey (for bread)
2tbsp - Vanilla extract (for bread)
Peanut Butter (for bread)

Juice Directions:
1. Send the blackberries, pitted cherries and strawberries through the extractor.

2. Send through the apples, make sure to remove the seeds first if you are making bread, this will save you a little time when sorting through the pulp. I also juice the apples last because they produce a thinner juice than the berries-- this helps to flush any remaining berry juice.

Pour over ice and enjoy!

Yield:
About 4 - 8oz servings

Directions for Bread:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and Flour bundt pan (I used butter)

2. Sort through pulp making sure to remove any large pieces or seeds.

3. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract.

4. Slowly stir in honey making sure to mix it in evenly.

5. Sift and stir in flour a cup at a time.

6. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake at 325°F for 1hr 30 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean.

7. Let cool, cut and top with peanut butter [my husband ♥'s this recipe!]

Notes:
* Bread will be brownie moist due to the fruits
* To get the finish in the photo, cut two slices of bread, top one with peanut butter, then turn the other in the opposite direction and finish with another layer of peanut butter.
* I used honey peanut butter, it's available at most grocery stores.
