So without a centrifuge the recommendation was to sugar quartered strawberries and let them sit to collect the juice. I've had 2 quarts of strawberries sitting over a sieve for about 3 hours now and the yield is a scant tablespoon. What kind of yield should I expect and how could I go about increasing the yield. I'm not super worried about having it centrifuge clear so a bit of cloudiness is alright for my application purposes.
Would bagging strawberries with some pectinex and sugar and heating them slightly then draining over a sieve increase yield? Does the strawberry juice settle out over time or is there too much pectin for that to happen?
