I will tell her to take another hit! And I really don't have the energy, I swear. Lots and lots of coffee!! I will have to get a picture of all the hungry mouths around here! We don't have kids to feed but the guys always come hungry so when there is something that needs doin', I start pointing! They are all really good about it too :)<br /><br />Jane, trust me...he's thinking! But too many irons in the fire for this year to get a press up and running. But if anyone could, these guys are the ones! And I did want to do it outside, but, well you saw!

That's an outside job girl! We have a local cider press that can do the pressing for you-if you have enough apples, I never do. Basically all their press is, is layers of wood boards with screens and chopped apples being pushed down from above with a weight. The cider squirts out around the wood and a huge hopper catches it at the bottom. With all that testosterone in the room I bet they could whip up something in the shop to do the same thing on a smaller scale.Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-90807156732726646852010-08-30T15:37:12.894-05:002010-08-30T15:37:12.894-05:00Don't tell my jam/jelly that it only has a thr...Don't tell my jam/jelly that it only has a three week refrigerator life! I've never had a jar go bad on me. I have had it finally get kinda hard and sugary, then I've tossed it, but it took a looooong time to reach that point.<br /><br />My, you have been a busy gal! You're lucky that you have a lot of helping hands. I only have two, and they're both mine ;-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-69696396566733065392010-08-30T14:51:15.953-05:002010-08-30T14:51:15.953-05:00I think Sue's been smoking her socks (as we us...I think Sue's been smoking her socks (as we used to say!). Homemade jelly/jam will keep a LOOONG time in the refrig after it's been opened. It just never lasts that long around here.

I am amazed at those tomato sauce jars! That apple evolution looks like fun, I promised hubby once we move back up north where apples will grow he can build his own cider press. He has the plans and has been itching to do it but why do I need a cider press cluttering up the place NOW? Apples don't grow here....
