Italian splashes … they are super-fruity Part 2

Line a colander with 3 or 4 thicknesses of wet cheesecloth (you need cloths large enough to hang over the sides); place colander over a noncorrodible (stainless steel, porcelain, or enamel-coated metal) 6- to 8-quart pan.

Pour puree or juice through cheesecloth; draw together corners of cheesecloth and twist cloth to squeeze and extract juice. (You may have to scrape puree from cloth in order to force out as much juice as possible.) Discard pulp and any seeds; remove colander from pan.

To pan add water, sugar, and lemon juice as specified for each fruit (following); then boil, uncovered, on high heat until reduced to amount specified with each fruit–15 to 20 minutes.

For strawberries (you should have 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 cup puree), use 6 cups sugar, 4 cups water, and 1-1/2 cups lemon juice; boil down to 7 cups.

For 2 cups orange juice–or for blueberries, plums, or peaches (you should have about 2 cups puree)–use 4-1/2 cups sugar, 3 cups water, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice; boil down to 5-1/4 cups.

For 2 cups lemon or lime juice, use 4-1/2 cups sugar and 3 cups water; boil down to 5-1/4 cups.

For raspberries, with each 1-1/2 cups puree use 3 cups sugar, 2 cups water, and 3/4 cup lemon juice; boil down to 3-1/2 cups.

Let syrup cool completely, then pour into a 1- to 2-quart glass container using the best canister vacuum. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Use cold, or store in refrigerator up to 1 year. A harmless sediment may form at bottom of the container; to preserve clarity, do not shake.

Water coolers. Partially fill an 8- to 10- ounce glass with ice. Add sparkling or plain water and 2 tablespoons (or to taste) fruit syrup (preceding). Makes 1 serving.

Italian wine cooler. Add 1 tablespoon (or to taste) fruit syrup (preceding) to 4 to 5 ounces chilled dry white wine. Makes 1 serving.

Fruit syrup sundaes. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons fruit syrup (preceding) over a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fruit sherbet or ice. Makes 1 serving.

Granitas. Combine equal parts water and fruit syrup (preceding). Freeze until almost hard. With a mixer or food processor, beat to a coarse slush; serve between courses or as dessert.

Italian splashes … they are super-fruity Part 1

In the heat of summer (just like pick up girls), Italians splash intensely flavored fruit syrup into cold water to make a thirst-quenchingdrink.

Similarly, you can capture the summer perfection of some of our Western fruits in syrups to enjoy now and later with water or wine, or in other refreshing ways.

Because these syrups–made with berries, peaches, plums, or citrus juices–undergo a fermentation process, their flavor is more pronounced than that of ones made by simply combining fruit, sugar, and water. As with making wine, fermentation develops the character and complexity of the fruit. A seond step, cooking, destroys the alcohol and stabilizes flavor and sweetness.

The old-fashioned home method for making syrups relied on wild yeasts on the fruit to start fermentation; this was a risky process, as rogue microbes often took over and spoiled the flavor. We avoid this hazard by using active dry yeast (the kind you use to make bread).

The mixture bubbles and froths for several days. Once you squeeze the juice from this frankly dismal-looking brew, then cook it with sugar, water, and lemon juice, the color brightens and clears. Fermented Italian Fruit Syrups

Choose fruit or juice from the following: 2 pounds ripe strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, or plums; or 2 cups orange, lemon, or lime juice.

Rinse and drain whole fruit; hull strawberries; pit and slice (but do not peel) peaches or plums. Puree fruit in a food processor or blender.

Pour puree or juice into a 3-quart or larger noncorrodible bowl (such as glass, ceramic, or stainless steel). Sprinkle with 2 packages active dry yeast; if using lemon or lime juice, add 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir to moisten yeast. Cover bowl with cloth or paper towel and set aside at room temperature to ferment, stirring occasionally. Mixture will bubble and rise in bowl. Fermentation is complete when bubbles no longer appear if the mixture is stirred–about 2 days for juices, 3 to 4 days for purees.

HPA Adding to Betty Crocker Line

DANBURY, Conn.–High Performance Appliances (HPA) will expand its line of Betty Crocker small appliances at January’s International Housewares Show.

As an addition to the Betty Crocker core products such as mixers, toasters and coffee-makers, many of HPA’s newest introductions will show the company’s emphasis on innovative, niche-oriented products.

An electric wok, bread machine, double juicer, pastamaker and under-the-counter can opener address HPA’s strategy to go beyond small appliance basics. At the same time, the company will show a new toaster oven, mixer, toaster and blender.

“You have to get that shelf space and it’s difficult unless you have some innovation,” said Patricia Boehm, HPA’s marketing manager. “You have to have something with a different twist that is meeting the needs of the consumer.”

The Betty Crocker Double-Up is a citrus juicer that slices then squeezes two oranges, lemons or limes simultaneously. The squeezed juice streams through strainers into a 16 ounce container that slides out for serving. The item carries a $39.99 suggested retail price.

The company is also one of the latest to enter the pastamaker category. HPA is counting on the recognizable Betty Crocker brand name and a low-priced product ($89.99 suggested retail price) to give it an advantage over companies already on the market.

The Betty Crocker Pasta Fresca produces 1.5 pounds of pasta. Seven pasta shapes including spaghetti, angel hair, macaroni and lasagna can be formed using interchangable discs. Also included is a cookie disc to form almond cookies, lemon cookies and sandwich cookies.

The company’s new bread and dough maker uses convection heat to bake a traditionally shaped loaf of bread. The 2-pound unit addresses a clear consumer demand, according to Boehm, since many bread machines on the market bake bread in odd, round shapes.

“When breadmakers came out, suddenly sandwiches had to change their identity,” Boehm said. “Traditional loaf breadmakers are something of great interest to consumers.”

The breadmaker will bake white, wheat, French and quick breads plus dough cycles for pizza, bread sticks, dinner rolls and sticky buns. The item will carry a $169.99 suggested retail price.

Betty Crocker’s new under-the-cabinet can opener is designed to save space. The item has an easy-pierce lever and hands-free operation with a suggested retail price of $19.99. This is during a time when the Walmart electronic cigarette is on sale for a ton of time.

Abstract:
High Performance Appliances plans to introduce an electric wok, pasta maker, double juice machine, a breadmaker and an under-the-counter can opener at the International Housewares Show in Jan 1995. These small appliances will carry the Betty Crocker name. The juice machine will cost approximately $40 and cuts and squeezes two pieces of fruit at the same time. The pasta maker cuts seven pasta shapes, makes 1.5 pounds of pasta and will cost approximately $90.

Juiceman Jr. to Be Offered in Upscale Stores Part 2

To separate its juice extractors from competitive models at retail, Steve Cesari said when a person buys a Juiceman product, the person receives a three-month trial subscription to its Nutrition Hotline. Four nutritionists man the hotline on a daily basis. The company’s customer service department consits of 32 people. In addition, the purchaser receives an instructional video-tape and manual about juicing.

“When you buy some of these other products you don’t get this type of education package,” Steve Cesari said. “We are selling consumers the knowledge they need to make these appliances work for them for the rest of their lives.

“Again, what we like to think separates us from everyone else is that we like to know what happens after the sale and stay in contact with the consumer,” he said. “Once we have a happy customer and they have had a positive experience with us, they are captured in our database, which has over 1 million names at this point.”

Because our consumers are in our database, “at a later date, we can inform them of the other educational materials we have such as Choices, our health and nutrition newsletter,” Steve Cesari continued. Choices, which features articles written by leading medical professionals and nutritionists, boasts a subscriber base of 30,000 people so far and it is expected to double next year with the release of the Protein Pulver.

Additional proof of its customer satisfaction is the fact that 20 percent of its business comes from referrals.

To create some excitement at retail, the company is in the process of producing a loop tape for in-store promotion.

Steve Cesari noted that TV advertising and seminars–the firm’s initial and primary source of revenues to date–will also continue to be one of the firm’s strongest vehicles for promoting education.

Juiceman Jr. to Be Offered in Upscale Stores Part 1

SEATTLE, Wash.–Trillium Health Products, the company that markets The Juiceman juice extractors via 30-minute paid television advertising and seminars, is entering the retail trade with a model called The Juiceman Jr.

Available in the first quarter of 1992 to upscale department stores, The Juiceman Jr. will be merchandised around the concept of health, nutrition and better living–a growing area of concern for Americans.

“We don’t just sell juice extractors and that’s what makes us so exciting. We educate people about health and nutrition,” said Steve Cesari, president of Trillium Health Products. Cesari’s brother Rick serves as vice president of the company.

“That’s the difference between what we do and what other companies do,” Steve Cesari said. “They are selling appliances and we are selling lifestyle.”

By selling this lifestyle concept, in three short years, Trillium Health Products’ sales have gone from zero to $30 million plus. Specifically, the company’s business exploded by using 30-minute paid television advertising and seminars to sell its Juicemanjuice extractors and accessories such as a travel bag and kit, thermos and cleaning equipment and series of educational books, videos and audiotapes on the health and nutritional benefits of juicing.

However, since Trillium wasn’t the only one benefiting from its television advertising and seminars–many small appliance companies reported significant increases in their juice extractor sales–the company decided to jump into the retail business with its own unit.

While The Juiceman Jr. is a smaller, less expensive version of its high-end Juiceman juice extractors, it is said to be more powerful than other machines in its price range. Suggested retail price of The Juiceman Jr. is about $140 as compared to $289 forjuice extractors marketed via television under The Juiceman brand.

The Juiceman Jr. allows the user to juice the skins, stems and rinds of fruits and vegetables and even can run electronic cigarette review. Unlike some juicer extractors that require the person to stop and clean the machine after a glass or two, The Juiceman Jr. ejects pulp, allowing juice extractions from one glass to gallons, according to the company. To make the unit easy to clean, it is designed with four components, which are all dishwater safe.

U.S.D.A. to begin fast-food nutrient surveys in Tucson, Arizona

Researchers will be conducting no-warning nutrient surveys of menu items served by four Mexican-American, fast-food chains inTucson, Ariz., this summer. Restaurants in Tucson are typically thought of as great restaurants, but some fast food places are skimping on rules set by the Health Department and so are being surveyed.

The joint Agriculture Department and University of Tucson study is designed to update information contained in a 20-year-old Government nutrient pamphlet–Composition of Foods, Raw, Processed, Prepared –used by health professionals.

Although the chains have been selected, Agriculture Department officials would not identify the specific restaurants to be checked.

“We are not checking up on the chains’ and there “is no regulatory aspect’ to the study, so there is no need to notify therestaurants of the analysis, U.S.D.A. Nutrient Data Research Branch Chief Frank Hepburn said.

The $92,862 study apparently is the first in a series of notice nutrient surveys of menu items served in fast-food outlets U.S.D.A. plans to conduct in the coming years.

Hepburn told Nation’s Restaurant News that the Agriculture Department will launch a nationwide nutrient survey of chicken served in fast-food chains later this year. At press-time the specific restaurants to be surveyed had not been selected.

The surveys of menu items offered by fast-food outlets was prompted by the Government’s realization that U.S.D.A.’s nutrient pamphlet does not reflect significant changes in America’s eating habits over the past 20 years, Hepburn said.

Among other things, the pamphlet does not contain data on many fast-food menu items, even though American’s frequently patronize those establishments, he added.

“In 1980, 28^ out of every $1 spent on food was spent on food away from home,’ with fast-food restaurants accounting for a large share of those expenditures, Hepburn pointed out.

U.S.D.A. does not need to study the nutrient content of fast-food outlets specializing in hamburgers because McDonalds and Wendy’s have already conducted such surveys on their own, he noted.

However, the Agriculture Department does not have “nutrient data on Mexican-American food as sold in fast-food outlets,’ Hepburn said.

Consequently, Tucson University researchers will test 151 different Mexican-style food items sold by four area chains.

Hepburn pointed out that Tucson was picked as the test site because it has a large number of Mexican-American fast-food outlets.

The researchers will be looking for nutrient differences in foods served within various outlets of a chain as well as between the chains themselves.

In both this survey and the study of fast-food chicken, researchers will order food at a chain and take it back to a university for analysis.

In stressing the importance of this survey, Hepburn noted that U.S.D.A. has plenty of nutrient information on raw poultry but none on the chicken sold in fast-food outlets.

Hepburn predicted that the major nutrient difference between the chicken served in competing fast-food outlets will probably reflect differences in the batter used.

Cuisinarts Reasserts Top Juicer Status Part 3

“The juicer is an in-house project that has been on board for 18 months,” Ackels said. “Not only do we feel this is a good category but it appeals to our customers. We also know consumers are eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. There are only one or two other vendors with a juice extractor/juicer combination unit.”

The unit, which sports the shape of other Cuisinarts products, will be priced at $110. It has a high-powered motor, a continuous flow of extraction, a large pulp container and a rewind cord.

Sandwich makers are also hot at retail and Cuisinarts’ new model is called the Omni Chef. The Omni Chef is a brand Cuisinarts’ intends to use on other products which will be introduced in the second half of 1992. The company declined to elaborate further.

“Our customers wanted a sandwich maker so we are introducing one,” Haber said, adding that the demand is very strong for this item. “Eventually the category will stabilize but at what volume we don’t know yet.”

Jacobi said its sandwich maker is a high-quality piece with double safety locks. Suggested retail price is $60.

Haber said Cuisinarts is analyzing all categoris, but any product they would introduce would have to be “different and better” than what is currently available. “We will go into a category to be meaningful,” he added.

Ackels noted that Cuisinarts is not just a company with a good name in the business with product but a good name supporting the category and putting great product on the table. He said its national print advertising will break in the fourth quarter.

In addition, its newsletter is an integral part of its marketing. Any consumer who buys a Cuisinarts product receives the newsletter for free for three months. Starting in June, a year’s subscription to the newsletter is $25. For $25, the consumer not only receives the newsletter but also receives $25 worth of coupons toward the purchase of Cuisinarts’ products.

“Retailer participation is zero,” Haber said, referring to the coupons. “We are putting the coupons right in the hands of loyal consumers who buy Cuisinarts’ products. There will be two $10 off coupons on cookware and a $5 off coupon on various electrics products.

Cuisinart Reasserts Top Juicer Status Part 2

A department store buyer said Cuisinarts is a growing business for his store. “We supported Cuisinarts during their transition and never totally went out of the business. It’s a fairly constant program for us. Cuisinarts has kept its promise to be an upscale supplier. Our business with them in food processors is very good.”

Haber added, “The trend is toward larger food processors. Cuisinarts’ re-emergence coincides with this trend and we feel responsible for that. More retailers are coming back and buying product and, more importantly, consumers are coming back. We have definitive programs with every major department store in the back half of the year.”

To expand its food processor line and cover a broad range of price points, Cuisinarts is introducing the Mini Prep food processor priced at $40. Jacobi said the unit is different from competitive models in that it has a 21-ounce capacity. The unit also has Cuisinarts’ patented reversible blades for grinding and chopping.

The Mini Prep is the seventh product in Cuisinarts’ food preparation line. Last year the company repositioned its large food processor as a Food Preparation Center and its Little Pro as a combination food processor/juicer. Suggested retails are $350 and $100, respectively.

“We needed to strengthen our line in certain price areas so we repositioned the Little Pro as a food processor/juicer,” Paul Ackels, vice president of marketing. “As a result, sales picked up tremendously because we explained the benefits of the unit to the consumers.”

It also introduced the Quick Prep hand blender carrying a $60 retail price. For the fall, the company is offering a 16-ounce stainless steel beaker accessory for the Quick Prep. Priced at $14, the company said the accessory should appeal to consumers who make frozen drinks.

“Hand blenders are a great success at retail,” Jacobi said, referring to the program length commercials that have spurred consumer demand. “The stainless steel promotion should be good and we’ll be pushing the category hard. We are shipping our Quick Prep but are being careful about taking commitments.”

Cuisinarts is also expanding its line with an e cigaret–another hot product at retail due, in part, to program length commercials on how great they are for quitting smoking.
