RE: The Art of Preserving Apples Chapter 2: Making Apple Sauce, Juice, Hard Cider AND Vinegar From RAW Unpasteurized Apple Juice

in #ecotrain6 years ago (edited)

We had to go to Vermont to find apples as there was a general apple crop failure in our area. We spent Wednesday making apple cider for vinegar, getting 4 gallons of vinegar and 1 gallon of soft cider. They were McIntosh apples, 2nds, 4 bushels.

Sort:  

oh how nice! Hope you had a nice day trip to Vermont. I've always wanted to go there. Do you have a cider press? We've always wanted one but they are so expensive. Maybe next year!!

Yes, we picked up a super heavy duty cider press at an estate sale probably 15+ years ago for $50. Never been used. Never used it until the tree gave us apples in 2015. Again last year, and this year.

what a great deal! Very cool. I should start keeping my eyes open for one. :) Did you ever do a post on using one? I would love a better idea of how it works, how long it takes etc.

I tried to get photos as we went, for a post when I can finally put one together. So there will be one, but not for a while...
