Our friends Misty and Andrew of Geek Farm Life http://geekfarmlife.com/ are leaving their Indiana Farm for new adventures in Australia. We will miss them. In a win-win, we purchased many pieces of “farm equipment” that we did not have and were on on wish list. One is the Excalibur food dehydrator I have already blogged about–and which is currently hard at work drying apples. Another is a lovely stainless steel steam juicer. I got up at 6 today and made 10 quarts of grape juice from a gorgeous basket of Concords purchased at the market yesterday. Here is the process:
The Juicer--3 stacked parts
lowest part--fill with water
part two--collects the juice and this is where the hose attaches
the top--fill with produce
beautiful Concord grapes
adding more grapes (the redder ones are the ones already cooking down)
juice in the pipeline!
filling sterilized jars
sealing jars
what's left, called pomace
