September 1, 201312 yr Yes finally found a use for the fallen apples from my 1 apple tree . 5 gallons of Cider . Any one else do anything like this?( no jam makers please ) .
September 1, 201312 yr Yum. Fresh whole cider is the best. Nothing like that purified, reconstituted apple juice they sell in the stores. If you have a mind to, you can add some things, and ferment it into hard cider.
September 2, 201312 yr I brew with raspberries and brambles from the garden and hedges, also done a couple of batches of rhubarb when given some. Made cider once, but used a juicer as I don't have a press - the juicer pulping the skin in made it green, but it went down alright.
September 27, 201312 yr Author Made Vodka out of Quince . It's about the only thing that tastes nice that you can make from them things . We had wheel barrows full of the things . We used to have Slows,Nectarine,plum and Mirabelle growing in our garden when we lived abroad . Mirabelle is really alcoholic bearing fruit and when they fall,you can smell them starting to ferment , The product " Eau de Vie " that's water of life to you and i , is made from them in France . Proper kick in the balls from that stuff . The French put sugar with the drink in the glass ,ramps up the alcohol .
