What did you do in the garden today?

bubbles and so tasty and joyful drinking it.

Sounds as though you had a bit of hard cider fermented with ambient yeast.

We processed our apples into about 24 cups of raw cider than boiled it on a medium simmer for several hours until it reduced and started to thicken. I checked the consistency with the cold plate method. The 24 cups gave us a grand total of about 1 pint of syrup, but boy is it tasty.

I've never heard of apple syrup. Is that something you came up with?

No, just something I came across during one of my searches. I’m always tracking down recipes and food ideas.

Me? Nothing really.

My neighbor? Currently vacuuming his lawn apparently…….



I mean I don’t know for sure if that’s what he’s doing because the brush is too think to see up there but that sounds like a vacuum and not a lawn mower.

I can't wait for my apple trees to get big enough to put on enough fruit that the squirrels and birds will share some with me. I look forward to making apple jack with anything more than I need to sauce.

When does it turn into syrup? Did you have to put something else in it? Mine just turned into apple vinegar over a period of time.

I juiced apples and let it turned into apple vinegar. Before it turned into vinegar, it turned into something else that has bubbles and so tasty and joyful drinking it. If I dont' drink it, then it turned into vinegar over a period of time, it did not turn into syrup.

If you get an airlock you can prevent the vinegar and enjoy the tasty drink longer. When the water in the airlock stops bubbling, bottle it.

Hard apple cider

That might explain why it is difficult for me to wait to get apple vinegar....
