One word. There is one word
that, in essence, captures all that is
Fall: tang in the crisp air, spotless
clear blue sky, red and yellow
leaves coloring the hillsides and
fencerows, woodsmoke hanging in
the air, and a bright, white harvest
moon so qear you could almost
reach up and pick it from the sky.
Cider. That’s the word.
There are basically two ways to
obtain this classic seasonal liquid.
You can, obviously, run down to
your nearest retail market and buy
up a supply.
Or you can squeeze your own.
Easier said than done. Apples
don’t squeeze with the same ease
of something like an orange or a
grapefruit. In fact, try to flatten an
apple and you’ll probably end up
with a handful of applesauce.
Tasty. But not cider.
What you need is a good, sturdy,
old-fashioned cider press.
Now, mind you, this piece of
equipment is not something the
size of a Cuisinart. It’s more like 6
feet long, 4 feet high, and comes
with a variety of old cast iron
hardware and sturdy, round
baskets made of wood slats for
holding the chopped bits of apple
for pressing.
Nor does one store a cider press
in the back comer of the kitchen
cupboard. Ours an ancient
model acquired long, long ago by
the farmer spends its life mostly
ignored in a dusty comer of the
bam. About once every ten years,
it is resurrected on a glorious
Sunday afternoon for a sort of
ceremony which reinforces the
farm roots in both our ancestral
pasts.
This ritual begins on our knees.
Under trees colored with red and
yellow apples, we crawl through
dried grass and crunchy leaves,
gathering “drops.” Material for
this most recent cider pressing
&kgmce
ritual originated under trees
owned by generous neighbors
whose land we farm, and who
graciously allowed us to harvest
the fallen jewel-like fruits.
Piece of antiquity that it is, the
oaken press with its rusting hard
ware has no plugs, points, or
power. It’s life comes from a six
inch-wide umbilical cord, a canvas
strip run off the belt-drive of
another link to the past, our
youngest’s lovingly-restored John
Deere “B”.
With the extra manpower lent by
good friends, apples are rinsed and
tossed into the clattering machine,
a few handfuls at a time, to be run
through knives and chopped to
bits. Periodically an apple, thrown
in as an offering to the noisy
knives, catches one on the up
swing, and goes flying back out to
roll off down the paved driveway.
Two baskets are kept busy, one
sliding front to go under the heavy
wooden press, while the chopper
fills another in preparation. The
farmer turns the press, by hand,
then adds extra leverage with a
special turning tool shaped like a
baseball bat, but squared.
And, then amber liquid pours
down over the old oak press floor,
and cascades into a modem plastic
bucket, filling the air with the
heady perfume of autumn. Long
before the last handful of apples is
tossed to the knives, the sloped
drive is dangerously slick with
chopped apple - like walking on
applesauce - and scrubbed,
sanitized plastic buckets hold the
thick, foamy, coppery-colored
juice.
Some is shared, some will be
frozen, some will be canned and'
some incorporated into Grandma’s
oven-cooled applebutter.
That’s not just cider sitting there
chilled in the refrigerator.
It’s a jug of memories.
Now that great tradition of
yesterday has been combined
with features of tomorrow
