Apples for autumn

What a beautiful day we have had in Cambridgeshire today.  Wall to wall sunshine.  Perfect weather to be tackling all those apples!!

Saturday's windfalls

there's more - Sunday's windfalls

We need to make juice

First you chop

then you process

then you press

you drink

then you go down the garden.............

pick some perfect ones for eating

then you shake the tree!!!

and start all over again but not before having some lunch

Homemade Soda bread

My soda bread, french butter, a soft sheep milk Brebis, and of course some juice and an apple

add to that some french fig jam - made this whilst on our recent holiday!

back to work

We finally made just under 4 gallons of juice.  The juice clears nicely once it settles you get some sediment, which you can see in the jug.  We freeze the juice and it keeps perfectly, just grab a bag out and defrost.
