In the last two weeks of our season at Tyler Place we put our apple
cider press to work along with our guests. After sterilizing the whole
apparatus We started chopping the apples in half to get them ready for
the press, no need to peel, core, or anything, since we had a beautiful
selection of hand-picked apples. Hand cranking an apple grinder can be
very laborious, so our guests kept taking turns while the kids were
filling the press with apples.
During our last session during Family Time we processed over 6
bushels of apples and ended up with almost 10 gallons of sweet tasting
apple cider which filled the tummies of the participants and
bystanders.
