We pour it into popsicle trays and whala – instant popsicles with no added sugar. (we buy the fruit with the fruit juice, not the syrup)

I use it as cooking liquid for barley — barley is a little under-appreciated, I think. It’s a nice alternative to rice both in flavor and texture, and I find that it is even less work to get “right” than rice is.

Marinade! Especially with soy sauce. Or use it as part of a sweet and sour stir-fry.

Reduced over heat with other ingredients to make a reduction sauce/glaze.

My fav way is to save the juice from each can in a glass jar until I have about four cups. Then I mix up some bisquit mix from my fav timesaver, Bisquick. I bring the juice to a boil, drop the dough in by teaspoons or larger, depends on how big you want your dumplings, and cover and simmer for about ten minutes. If you are in a hurry, you can just forget the cover and let them cook on med heat until they test done. That’s it. They are good. Fruit dumplings from something you might have thrown out. Can’t get much more frugal than that.

The smoothie idea is a good one, as is making it into a syrup-I bet that would taste good on angel foodcake, over fresh fruit and over vanilla icecream as well!

You can thicken it with some cornstarch to make syrup for pancakes or waffles.
