Sea Buckthorn Juice
Sea buckthorn juice (also known as seaberry juice) has a wonderful tropical flavor, and it's easy to preserve this hearty northern fruit in home-canned juices. The juice tastes like a mix between orange and pineapple, and it's almost as acidic as lemon juice, making it a good choice for water bath canning (or fresh homemade seaberry-ade).

3
Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the cooked mixture, extracting the juice into a clean pot. (A food mill also works well for this, and can be used with raw or cooked berries.)
4
If desired, add sugar (if using) to the juice and stir until dissolved.
5
Bring the juice back to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for another ⏱️ 5 minutes.
6
Carefully pour the hot juice into the prepared jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims clean and seal with the sterilized lids.
7
Place the filled jars on a rack in a large pot of boiling water or a water bath canner. Make sure the water covers the jars by at least an inch. Process for ⏱️ 10 minutes if you're below 6,000 feet in elevation, or process for ⏱️ 15 minutes if you're above 6,000 feet.
