Homemade Apple Juice

 

 Homemade apple juice is a delicious and refreshing beverage that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh apples, which are pressed or juiced to extract their natural sweetness and flavor. Apple juice is a healthy alternative to sugary sodas and other processed drinks. It is also a great way to use up extra apples from your garden or local orchard.

 

Ingredients:

 

6-8 pounds of apples

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup sugar (optional)

Instructions:

 

Wash and core the apples.

Cut the apples into small pieces.

Place the apples, water, and sugar (if using) in a large pot.

Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.

Strain the juice through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve.

Store the juice in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips:

 

You can add other fruits to your apple juice, such as pears, cranberries, or blueberries.

You can also add spices to your apple juice, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves.

If you don't have a juicer, you can use a food processor or blender to puree the apples.

You can also freeze your apple juice for later use.

Enjoy!
