Apple season is OVER



Wow. What an experience. Mike learned a lot. He figured he must have pressed close to 100 gallons of fresh apple juice. I think it was more because we did drink a lot of it.

The press, sink and disposal/grinder was a good investment. Maybe. Perhaps we should plan on just selling it next time we do this. I dont know that there will ever be such a great apple crop as this past season was, though.

Our fall travels interruped the flow of things, there was a learning curve with the press liners, etc. One disposal died soon after the start...we ran short on containers. It was a learning experience. I'm really glad Pam Christensen helped out so much. She's a champion apple cutter-upper. Larry L. helped, so did Eric. I washed bottles and cleaned up a few times, but that's about it. Mike did the bulk of it, and he had to take days to recuperate after a few hard days of grinding, pressing, straining, delivering or freezing.


Now its time to get all those pecans shelled that we brought home from Georgia.
