Apples

To start simple I wanted to make a Cyser, so besides honey I need apples - plenty of apples. I have 3 apple trees in the garden but still it is late in the season, and the majority apples were overripe or down right bad. The appletrees I have are "Inger Marie" which I have no clue to what are called in English, sorry.

It is relatively small apples with high acidity and a lot of taste. I could only collect about 20 kg, so I had to supply with Cox Orange from a neighboring garden. Using apples with high acidity I was hoping to be able to avoid having to add citric acid for pH control.

The local library had an event where everyone could get about 40 kg of apples juiced for free, which I happily took advantage of with the help of my son Julius

I ended up with 10L of juice from "Inger Marie" apples and 5L of Cox Orange juice which were a bit sweeter. To top it off I had a tray of mixed apples which were juiced just for us to enjoy pure and fresh. All in all we got about 25L out of 40kg of apples. Not bad!
