Apple pressing in Somerset, Autumn 2019

A bumper crop of apples in Somerset this autumn means one thing - fresh apple juice! Once you’ve tasted this golden nectar you’d never buy shop stuff again. It really doesn’t take much to do: an apple scratter (bucket with a shredder blade attached to a drill) to pulp the apples and a small inexpensive press to extract the juice from the pulp, job done.

I didn't realize apple pressing could be so entertaining Andy. I can imagine a nice cool glass in the summer would go down a treat. Nice one. Mark

[@MrAndyballard]

I've pressed apples every autumn for the last few years Mark, it's nectar of the gods... it's so good that it's usually gone by Christmas. Then again I don't have to tell you about apples, you being a Herefordshire man ‘n all!

@@MrAndyballard Aaah, I bet it does taste good Andy and is satisfying prepping it yourself to. I may try it in the future. Your press looked just about the right size. As for apples - yeah there are a few around here.

Andy, again "lekkere" footage! I really like your style. Happy greetingz, Wim

[@MrAndyballard]

bedankt Wim! it's a bumper season here in the UK for apples, so many everywhere... why would you go to the store & buy inferior juice when you can have the best stuff for free! (with a little effort)

[@DoubleUThings]

@@MrAndyballard Totally right! We are in a rural area for the last year, and every saturday they have a market with little farmers that sell their produce right from the land. Including all kinds of fruit. Way better!

Yes Boss 👍cider I up landlord 🍻 Just needed to see one of your films today! Apple juice I mean sorry😂

[@MrAndyballard]

Nice one. It doesn't take much more to turn it into cider to be honest, just add a tiny bit of yeast and leave it in the demi-john for a few months... and voila!

All we need now is a mixed cheese ploughman's, and we're well away (crusty bread too)

[@MrAndyballard]
