As much as anything its a hobby and something creative. Have you tried making hard cider? It's easy to do, and makes a fine drink that will last for years. There's another hobby. Figures yours would be boozing. LOL In the Navy I would make hard cider from dehydrated apples... adding raisins, especially white raisins, makes for excellent hooch too. The Navy carries lots of dehy of all types aboard ship, rarely enough fresh fruit to last but a few days. Actually one of the easiest and best ways to make cider for home use quantities is from dehy apples... dehy apples makes the best apple pie too. One pound of dehy equals about ten pounds of fresh... at the bulk stores dehys run about $8/lb. This is what many of the better neighborhood bakeries do "Apple Pie Filling from Dehydrated Apples" The nicest apple pies I've ever made were where the filling was prepared from dried (dehydrated) apples, the apple flavor is more intense and the texture less mushy; obviously there is less work and no waste (they're already cored, pared, and sliced). Dried apples are readily available from stupidmarkets at reasonable prices especially from markets that sell bulk and from so-called health food shops. And of course there are no storage problems with dehydrated fruits, they last about forever. One pound of dehydrated apples equals approximately ten pounds of fresh. To one pound of dehydrated apples add 2 quarts of water and *slowly* bring to a gentle boil, stir occasionally and cook 5 minutes, covered. Turn off heat and let rest, covered, till room temperature. Make a slurry of cornstarch and cold water; bring apples back to boil and add cornstarch mixture and cook until thick and clear. Turn off heat. While still hot carefully blend in sugar (about 1 pound), a pinch of salt, unsalted butter (about 2 ounces), a tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and the juice of one lemon. Cool throughly. May be refrigerated up to two days for later use. Scale about 3 1/2 cups filling into each unbaked pie crust, cover with top crust and bake at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes, until crust is nicely browned. --- |

When I say cider I mean brewed apple juice. We don't use a 'hard' or 'soft' qualifiers on the word cider. It's a good hobby but the results are a little perilous - hot summer days & a bottle of home brew = sleep. rob |
