wow a cider press! will you do scrumpy?
here we have a good year too.
i just canned a batch (*7 quarts)
and got the apples from 4 different trees.
red, gold, green and yellow.

a rainbow of apples! i should have made seperate batches
and layered them into the jars for a special effect, but
was lucky just to get them into jars.

we have a town near here that celebrates Johnny Appleseed
days but i do not think they give full credit that the seeds
he sowed came from Cider presses--and i believe it was HARD
cider that they were making. John Chapman was a legendary
early American.
