…make apple cider!
There are three very big, very old apple trees on our farm. At their peak, they must have well over a thousand apples on them. Unfortunately, the majority of them fall off during the spring drop and as the summer progresses. This year, we have been quite diligent about picking up the good ones soon after they fall. If you get them in time, they are juicy and sweet.
We have been dehydrating apple slices as well as making cider. We are freezing the majority of the cider to have for the Fall months. On special nights, we put a little spiced rum in the cider for that extra bite!
How do you like them apples?
(sorry…had to say that)
Oh yummy. How do you make cider?
We have just been putting the apples through a juicer, boiling the juice, skimming the solid mass that floats to the top, and freezing what’s remaining. It’s pretty yummy. It takes a lot of apples to make a little bit of cider.
