We got together with our homeschool friends and were able to be taught the art of making cider, redneck style. In the first picture posted you might see a sink, in that sink is two unused garbage disposals. The process was this: first you wash the apples, second you chop and sort the apples, third you plunge the apples onto the garbage disposal which shreds the apples and then plops them out into a bucket on the bottom end, fourth you take that bucket and and poor it into this large bag like thing that is then twisted to remove all juice and keep all pulp in then finally the juice drains out and is funneled into containers and ready for tasting. We all had a great time and were pleasantly surprised to get juice no matter how many apples we contributed. The kids were able to warm by the fire and roast a few marshmallows, sip cold cider and enjoy their friends. It was a bit of work and a very cold day but "Many hands make light work" and great people to talk to makes it more enjoyable to be together. This is the kind of activity that is more fun together.
