Instead of putting the seeds in a blender, I use a potator ricer to crush the seeds and release the juice. Each fruit is done in 4 batches thus allowing a better squeeze of the seeds. Each batch is stirred and resqueezed for a total of 3 times per batch. Bitterness is eliminated and a cleaner juice results. What a great way to start the day expecially when the fruit is in season as it is now! YUMMMM!
