Strawberry, Aloe Vera: Extracting the Strawberry Juice

The local strawberry season is pretty short in Chicago and if you miss it by a week, there's not too much left. They are not as sweet as the fruit in the warmer regions of the country, but the flavor is wonderful. To accentuate the natural flavor and gustatory emotion, we extracted all the juice from the fruit with a bit of sugar using a gastrovac. The gastrovac allows us to extract the juice at a lower temperature and keeping all the flavors intact.
