Yesterday we picked (picked up), and today we smash! Our neighbors had borrowed another neighbor's cider press, and we went over to use the press and have an apple bonanza party. We all had a great time. At the end of the day, we had about thirty gallons of fresh cider, and still four or five feed sacks of apples left over! We will drink plenty of fresh cider this week (and share it with any visitors we get), and preserve the rest by canning it in glass jars.
Quality control.
Appley sweet!
Ethan shows us how to use the jack with the press to squeeze out the cider.
