Apple Cider 101

I didn't get to share this a few weeks ago. So how about now. We had the opportunity to share the fall day with friends, who should really be more like family. It was a day to remember.


Step 1: Collect apples and maybe a few pears.


This can be done various ways. But it's always good to have a kid climb the tree. Then shake the tree with friends below. Laughter will ensue.




Step 2: Wash the apples


During this step you want to give eviction notice to the worm. Or possibly send his home back out to the field.


Step 3: Throw apples into the masher.





Step 4: Smash apples until all the juice runs out. Then drink in limited amounts with friends.


I have read that you could make your own apple press. For more info check out http://http//www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/1982-09-01/The-Maytag-Cider-Press.aspx
