with such a massive glut of apples this year it seems silly not to turn it into pies, chutneys and of course alcohol! heres a very quick and easy cider recipe that is ok to drink in a week it will improve if left for a few more months if you can last that long! :)
*3lb cooking apples
*6 quarts water
*2lb sugar
*3 juicy lemons
*1 oz bruised ginger (optional)
1. Wipe the apples ,cut into pieces and bash to a pulp,keeping the peel and cores (you could use a potato masher for this)
2. Place in an earthenware bowl and pour on the fresh cold water (or a big plastic tub)
3. Leave for 7 days, stirring well night and morning
4. Strain the liquor carefully
5. Mix it with the sugar,grated lemon rind and strained lemon juice
6 Leave for 24 hours
7. Strain the mix and bottle up into sterilized screw topped bottles
8. Bruised ginger may be added if you fancy it along with the lemon
please note, we are not responsible for the hangover!
