Make your Apple Day go with a swing with toffee apples, spiced cider and face-painting.

Apple-bobbing is a popular Apple Day activity, as visitors to West Green House in Hampshire discovered.

COMMUNITY JUICING

The fruit is macerated and then poured into the pressing cloths that make up the ‘cheese’.

Community juicing schemes turn surplus fruit into cider and apple juice, pooling resources and salvaging fruit that might otherwise go to waste, for everyone to enjoy. It also creates a product that can potentially be sold to raise funds for charity or other projects.

There are several different ways it can work, for example:

A local organization hires out an apple press to groups.

You take your apples to someone with an apple press, and they collect together apples from various sources and press them for a fee. (You can often buy juice from them even if you have no apples.)

Some community projects will accept your apples, give a proportion back in juice form – usually half – and sell the rest of the juice to cover their costs.

A number of stakeholders buy pressing equipment jointly to use on a rota basis.

Apple-juice demonstrations and services are common at Apple Days, and they may press your fruit while you wait.
