We’re up in the Berkshires this weekend enjoying beautiful fall weather. The family next door, who are big homesteaders, invited us to come over and press some apples into apple cider.
We gathered about two bushels in a wagon. In the end we pressed about six gallons worth to keep. Some will be drunk fresh, some will be made into hard cider, and some will be made into apple jack.
Lucky you! I’ve been eyeballing fruit presses for ages, but can’t justify the expense.
