#homemade apple cider

[jasper-crow]

So I made some cider today out of scraps I had while I was making apple butter

Behold, scraps! Mostly peels, cores, and little bits and bobs of apples bugs had bitten into or the like. Nothing worth wasting or that wouldn't be sanitary after a hour long boil lol 🤣

Added in sugar (dunno, just what was left in the bag 🤷‍♀️), nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and an old vanilla pod I fished out of the homemade vanilla sugar.

(Great use for spent vanilla pods y'all, make the sugar from the scrapped pods, then grind the pods into extra flavor for stuff like coffee and tea once they've released all their oils into the sugar )

And straight up it looks so good after I strained it and added sugar and spices. I have never made a cider so good that it's fucking PINK!!!

Anyways this has been great to have and to share with my wife while I finish making the apple butter 💙

Had a dream where I was at work talking to a coworker about how to make homemade apple cider. My coworker told me that he loved drinking it during autumn, but only ever drank the store bought version. But given how hard the economy was, he wanted to save money and make homemade cider for his Halloween party.

So, I told him a basic recipe for homemade apple cider, but he said "Oh I'm sorry! Could you repeat it? I wasn't hearing". So I repeated the recipe. He then told me he wasn't hearing and to please repeat it. This went on for a long, long time, until I unexpectedly woke up right in the middle of me giving out my apple cider recipe for the 15th or 16th time.

Something else to note here, is that each time I gave out the recipe, something changed. Like, maybe the first 4 times, I said to dice up organic Granny Smith apples, but by the 5th time, I was saying to use frozen apple juice concentrate as a base. Or I'd say to slice up some oranges in one recipe, only to say in a later recipe to just use 2 cups of orange juice.

I cannot give you the recipes of the meals that are So Good that they actually make me want to eat.

I made them up. The recipes don't exist. Not even in my head. I take whatever I can find that sounds good out of the fridge and put them on the stove together until they resemble a finished food.

Even the bread I bake has morphed so far beyond the recipe I originally looked up that I cannot even ask someone else to make it for me if I'm too tired.

Spent the afternoon making fresh apple cider in a 150 year old apple press. Apples go in the shoot and get ground up by a hand crank and fall into a wooden slat basket. After the bucket gets full you put a wooden lid and hand crank a press down squeezing the juice out of them. Then you strain the small bits out pour the juice into a jug and 100% all natural fresh apple cider. Put the extra in the freezer and warm it up for hot apple cider on a cold day.

Cranking an apple press and grinding up apples is a bit more of a workout than you’d expect. A fun experience and great way to use up so many excess apples.

i think it's charming how often Claire Saffitz starts off a "how to make x" video by being like "honestly i have never liked x"

Toast Skagen

A refreshing but also indulgent entrée, this delicious Toast Skagen takes me back to warm Summer nights in Stockholm! Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 heaped tablespoon Mayonnaise

1 fluffy sprig Garden Dill + a Dill flower, for garnish (optional)

1 thin slice red onion

1/2 teaspoon caster sugar

1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

half a dozen beautiful prawns, cooked (boiled or seamed) and cooled

a slice Soft White Bread 

4 beautiful lettuce leaves, rinsed and dried

1/4 cucumber

1/2 small lemon

Spoon Mayonnaise in a small bowl.

Finely chop Garden Dill and red onion, and add to the Mayonnaise. Give a good stir until well-combined.

Then, stir in sugar and apple cider vinegar until well-blended. Set aside.

Peel the prawns and cut them into small chunks, saving one or two of the smallest whole.

Stir prawns into the Mayonnaise mixture, mixing well to coat evenly. Cover with cling film, and chill in the refrigerator, at least an hour.

Toast Soft White Bread, and allow to cool.

Arrange lettuce leaves onto serving plate.

Cut cucumber into thin slices and halve them.

Cut one or two very thin slices off the lemon halve.

Place toasted Soft White Bread slice onto the lettuce.

Top with prawn mixture, and garnish with a few cucumber slices, arranging the rest of them onto the lettuce, lemon slices, and Dill flower, if using.

Enjoy Toast Skagen immediately, with a glass of chilled dry white wine, like Chardonnay.
