The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three months.

Its that many bottles of apple cider lack real spices. Its not that I dont dig the spiced, appley goodness. Leave the syrup to cool for 10 minutes then pour it into a clean jar. Reviews The Story I cringe when I walk through the grocery store in the fall and see the countless displays of bottled apple cider.If it leaves a line that doesn't run back right away, the syrup is ready.* Run a finger through the syrup on the plate. Drop a spoonful onto a cold plate and leave it to sit for a few seconds.The exact timings of this will depend on the number of apples and the saucepan used. After about an hour or two the syrup should have reduced by a lot (about ⅚ths) but it should still be still runny.Scrape off any dregs accumulating on the sides of the pan with a spoon. Let it simmer on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.Pour the apple juice through a cheesecloth into a wide frying pan or saucepan.Scrape off as much of the foam as you can so you are left with only juice. Allow the juice to sit for 5 minutes so the foam rises to the top.

For the rest I had half a cup of the apple juice and added cold water to it. As long as you keep it cool 🙂 I enjoyed the first cup of this warm straight from the pan which was really nice for a cooler evening. That’s it! This kept well in our fridge for 5 days. You then need to sieve everything (I used one like this) to remove the remains of the apple. Then, turn down to a simmer for about 90 minutes. Add a bit of citric acid, lemon juice, or a crushed vitamin C tablet, and the apple juice will keep its color. However, sweet juice doesn’t have to be brown. That means they won’t oxidize as quickly and will keep a natural light color for a long time.

Just enough water to cover all peelings and core in the panĪdd everything to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Tarter fruits usually have higher acid content.About 20 apples’ worth of peelings and core.But, I diluted the juice down with cold water and it made twice as much, so no problem really. The apples from my parents tree are naturally quite sweet, so didn’t need quite as much sugar as I used. And it was so simple too! My favourite aspect of any recipe 😉 the only thing I would do next time is reduce the amount of sugar I used. In fact, the juice made from these was so tasty. Whether they were organic or if they’ve been sprayed with any chemicals to help protect them while they were growing. So, after reading multiple posts about the method using leftovers, I set about trying my own little experiment. Wash Thoroughly If you’ve picked the apples yourself it’s not so bad because you know exactly what’s been on them and how they’ve been treated while they were growing. Now, Mr FC can’t drink apple juice as it gives him indigestion, but I love it. Apples are in season now, and you could see varieties of apples in the stores. Add sugar and lemon juice, stir and set aside for 20-30 minutes, until the rhubarb releases some of its juices. The juicing process includes cooking, blending and filtering. Put the rhubarb pieces in a heavy medium saucepan or pot. Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and cut them into pieces of about 2 cm, removing the woody ends. And, it can! The most straight forward thing I could find were people turing the peels and cores into apple juice. Step 1: Chop rhubarb and combine with sugar. So, I had a search to see if anything could be made out of the apples. By making them into something else, you are losing quite a substantial amount.

If you were to eat the apple, you’d eat all the skin too. However, when I was peeling all the apples (plus some more for the freezer) it occurred to me that there’s quite a lot of waste in this method.

I made an apple and blackberry crumble on Sunday using apples from my parents tree, plus some foraged blackberries. They are sweet enough to be eaten as they are, but the majority of the time they are made into a tasty crumble.īut, when you are making crumble, you peel the apples and remove the cores. My parents own an apple tree which supplies them with quite a number each Autumn. Now the pieces of apple can be put in a juicer (peeling of apple is optional). If you happen to come across an apple tree, if the apples haven’t fallen already by now then the branches should be laden with them. Cut the apple into pieces such that it fits the jar.
