The children were excited about the process, especially the grinding. Apples were fed whole into the grinder, which grinds them into a pulp that falls into a mesh-lined pressing bucket. The bucket is slid over to the screw, where a plate is inserted and the screw cranked down, exerting tremendous pressure and squeezing the clear juice from the pulp. Within seconds, this clear liquid oxidizes to the deep golden amber color we all know as apple cider. There was apple peeling, apple painting, apple hats, and full apple-tummies!
We thank the O'Connor family for coordinating, and bringing this wholesome event, to our school!
