Apple Juice (liquid fruit)

How to make it

1. 1

   The apples are washed and crushed or ground into a coarse mash. The mash is poured into a press lined with berry cloth, and a jar collects the juice as it comes.

2. 2

   The juice is not clear now and is difficult to filter, but there are aids such as filtragol, tannic acid or gelatine.

3. 3

   Leave until the next morning, and with a rubber hose draw the juice off from the sediment. Now add pure asbestos no. 5 — 50 g for 60–70 litres.

4. 4

   The juice is put into sealed bottles which are immediately sterilised to 70° for 10 min. The bottles are placed in a basket with wool blankets for a few hours before they are sealed with wax.

5. 5

   Other berries, rowanberries and rhubarb can be treated in the same way.
