Pressing Apples



Sunday, Yvonne and I got together with her apples at Jake's house to do a pressing for cider. 
 








Here's Jake running the press he built. Isn't he amazing??






 We had our snacks...






And Yvonne was happy!  Well okay, we were ALL happy.  :)




And we got seven gallons of sweet cider!  Four are now in the process of hardening...



Here is a link to Yvonne's blog entry from our cider pressing day last year:  Apple Cider Mm Mm Mm
It goes into greater detail and photos of the process...


And... a link to her post about this year's event:  Year two annual apple juice pressing
