This is what I'm working on today...

Apple cider vinegar!

Two of my apple trees are loaded, despite all of the apples that were knocked off during the "land hurricane" we had in July. The most apples I've gotten off of them yet!

One is red delicious and the other I'm not sure, but both are better suited to fresh eating and don't keep well. From some of them I'll can some plain apple juice too.

How will you juice them? Do you have a cider press?
I have some apple trees on the driveway that were supposed to be Prairie Fire crabs, but they were bare root and dormant when I got them, and the tree above the graft died, so I have a variety of different root stocks. Most of them produced heavily last year, but they weren't very tasty. I gave them to the chickens, but vinegar might have been a good project instead.

I use a juicer and just allow time for the sediment to collect at the bottom, then carefully take off the clear juice with a turkey baster (helps to put it in a tall, narrow pitcher).

I made apple cider vinegar from some apples off a wild apple tree. It was a really fun, and easy thing to do! Once you have that "mother" it is easy to keep it going from batch to batch...
