Frequently asked questions

How much sugar goes into the apple juice?
Half a kilo of sugar per kilo of strained juice, boiled in for 10 minutes before bottling.
Should the apples be peeled?
The original does not peel them; the apples are cut into slices and cooked down whole. Skins and cores give more aroma and pectin to the juice.
