Making Apple Juice

Apple trees grow abundantly in Germany and many are stored as juice. There is a local club that makes apple juice each fall located in the same building as our village preschool.

First the apples are washed.

Then they are removed from the water with a large shovel with holes.

 

 Next the apples are chopped up into small pieces.

 

Then the choppings are shoveled into a cloth, wrapped and stacked.

 

As they are pressed in the machine the juice drips into the silver tray.

 The tray leads to a series of tubes where the juice is pasturized.

 Finally it is sampled.

 And packed into containers to be used throughout the year.
