6. Jam Out! Make a delicious and healthy jam by blending lychee pulp, lemon juice, pineapple juice, apple sauce, and a little cinnamon and sugar. Use as a spread or topping.
7. Roll ‘Em. Combine lots of lychees, 1½ cups of 100% orange juice, 1½ cups of water, and the juice of one lemon in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 1 hour.
