#94: Pick my own apples and make apple cider
This last weekend Tristan and I went down to visit his parents in Pullman. We went to an apple orchard and picked apples and made 3 gallons of apple cider. It's a pretty cool process: you first mash the apples into small pieces, then move the pieces to a press and squeeze the juice out of the apples. It takes about 20 pounds of apples to make 3 gallons of apple cider. Then, you pasteurize the apple cider by boiling the cider at 160 degrees and enjoying.
