Apple juice

Today I juiced about a bushel of apples. I think it will end up making about 9-10 quarts of juice. I put up 5 quarts the other day. There is nothing like fresh apple juice. After you juice it and strain it as best you can, you put it in the fridge for one to two days. Then carefully pour the juice out trying to not get foam. Heat this to boiling while you warm your jars and lids. When everything is hot I put the juice in the jars, put the lids and rings on and steam can them for 10 min. I love my steam canner. It only uses a couple of quarts of water as opposed to the old huge water bath canners. So much easier on your back plus you can can faster. It doesn't take as long to boil the water.
