Can anyone recommend a book/publication about making and preserving apple juice?
Wash and crush the apples, squeeze out the juice and filter and pasteurize it, put the juice into sterile bottles and cap them, then keep the bottles from cooling too quickly with the hot liquid in them as the bottles can crack if you don’t. With proper pasteurization, the apple juice can last four years in a bottle. Here’s more on the pasteurization of apple juice: http://www.dairyeng.com/applejuice.asp Bottling apple juice is the same as bottling wine or beer (though you don’t need to worry about carbonation breaking bottles), and can use pretty much the same supplies. Going through a home brew supply site should give you a few ideas on where to start: http://www.homebrewit.com/ For example, fruit crushers and presses (including an apple crusher): http://www.homebrewit.com/aisle/1150 And books on
