This one seems non-commercial in nature unless it's the start of a slick campaign....which doesn't seem to be the focus. Looks like someone sharing.

Apples used to make Martinelli's sweet apple juice?
Q
Comments (4)
Santa Cruz is one of the few places where Newtown is still an important commercial apple. When I was a kid growing up in Southern CA, Alpha Beta supermarket advertised it as "the ugly apple that tastes good". It was my favorite apple for its tart-sweet crunch. Still love those dense fleshed apples. Martinelli's is probably the main reason it continues to be grown there. It's nice that a company would be so dedicated to the quality of their product instead of seeking the lowest production cost possible. That concentrated Chinese juice taste like it's mostly Red Delicious- yuk. Good for trapping yellow jackets though.

Canning storebought cider (unfiltered apple juice)
Q
Comments (14)
I figured if it said get it within 24 hours of pressing they meant unpasteurized - so you don't want the bacteria to grow (or as you said start fermenting. BTW, I mixed up the Ball Complete (which makes your own juice) instructions with NCHFP, Ball says to keep it at 190 for 5 minutes, NCHFP doesn't. But do you have to start with unpasteurized juice to make a quality canned product? Yes, this is pasteurized juice from PA, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and malic acid added. Process quarts 5m in pre-sterilized jars for best flavor? Will it still taste like cider? Or will 1 more processing added to what's already been done/added to it result in "muh" taste? I could pour some off each jug and just leave them in the garage to freeze, take into house as needed, but I don't know when we're going to get a thaw (about time, we're about 20 degrees below normal)!

What's the difference: apple juice/apple cider
Q
Comments (12)
Cider is pressed from cold or room temperature apples. It can then be filtered for sediment (if desired) and pasturized (by heat or by UV filter) if desired. Juice is made pressing hot fruit. Both methods taste quite different. Cider is usually a raw product while juice is a cooked product. The teminology is a bit shady these days since so many now pasteurize the cider by heat but not at the high temps that processing juice usually occurs. I hate pasteurized cider when done by heat and prefer if done with UV filter for that old time cider taste. Better yet I hunt for non-pasterized cider which must be labeled as such at orchards that sell it in my state. Big warning on it that may be harmful to children or elderly as non-pasteurized. Recent studies show IF cider pressed with warm apples (yields more juice) and left to sit warm for a while and then frozen, this works as good as heat pasterization. The acidity and good bacteria will work to kill the bad bacteria with this method using warm apples. The final kicker is the freezing action. We made a lot of cider when I was a boy on a large cider press I built in woodshop while in high school. Years later I used to help make 250 gallons each week on a commercial press at an apple orchard I was employed at.

"spammed"? Wow. Have you read my post? Please let me know if there is anything on my blog that does not belong on this site.

Thanks to everyone for visiting. I put a lot of work into my blog because I love what I do. I have made 7$ for the last 3 months thanks to people who choose to click on ads that show up on my blog. Believe me when I say that I don't blog for the money.

Sorry about my reaction, I felt like If I did not say anything I was admitting to it. . I have been super excited about the video that I posted and I was a little hurt by the comment when I got on here to see if anyone had said anything.

It's a nice one. The Harvest Forum would probably like it, too.

Not sure why anyone would call this spam???? It's a good video.

Do you filter it before it goes in the jars? How do you process it? Heat?

Thank you,
I took the lazy way out this time and just put it In kerr jars and then the freezer. If I have more time, next time, I will bring it just to the star of a boil and then process it.

I kept a jar out to try and make hard cider, I hope it works!!!

Nice video... I think i may try building a cider press this winter. That stephen hayes guy's one video shows a fairly simple one in action. On the other hand, i recently found an orchard nearby that lets me buy unpasteurized fresh press. (at a discount because they dont have to pasteurize it!!) Just bottled my first batch of hard cider... It was shockingly good, stronger than i thought it would be! And that materials required were reasonably cheap too. Good luck!

If you want to make cider, remember that you need a way to grind the apples before pressing them.
