Apple Juicing

Back in October, we made some delicious apple juice using the apples straight from our trees. It was fall break so two other families from the neighborhood came over and we all went to work. Thanks to the ingenious Bro Sanford we had a system that worked really well and we ended up getting gallons upon gallons of juice (more than forty I think, but I can't quite remember now!!)

We had the harvesters,

the scrubbers,

and the mashers.

Then there was the press

and all the lovely yummy juice that we put into coolers and jugs and pitchers and whatever we could find to hold all that sweet nectar.

Thanks so much to the Sanfords and the Sorensens for wanting to do this, bringing all the workers and the equipment and most of all for using so many apples!

Here are some more pics of that fun day






And this is one of my favorite pictures from that day:

It's the three babies! (sorry Googs! I know you aren't a baby anymore, but you'll always be your mom's baby!)
