I wanted to use currant juice to stew some stone-fruit this summer.  I 
picked about two quarts at a time, and put it into a round ceramic 
casserole dish.  Put on the lid and popped the whole thing in the 
microwave for a few minutes.

About a cup of clear juice ran out, and when I pressed it through a 
sieve I got another 4 ounces of thicker, cloudier juice.  It looked 
lovely and clear when I cooked it up with some sugar and spices, and 
tasted quite nice with the peaches, etc.  It also give the fruit a very 
attractive color.
