Family Tradition, Apple Juice Making!

 First you start with large crates full of beautiful crisp apples. which the kids love to help load into buckets, that are then dumped into the wash basket.

 Second we spray (or wash as we call it) the apples with "really" cold water.

 Third, some one throws the apples into the garborator, that chops the apples up into small bits and spits them into another bucket.

 Fourth, The buckets of apple bits are put into the press. where the men then take turns, turning and cranking back and forth until no more juice can be pressed out of the apple bits.

 Fifth, the press is disassembled, and the unwanted pulp is shoveled into the tractor or wagon.

 Sixth, the pulp is then taken up into the mountains for a tasty treat for the bears.

 Meanwhile the buckets of apple juice are strained through cheese cloth, and then poured into clean jugs for our super delicous, happy enjoyment. YUM!
