Making Apple Cider in New Hampshire with Robert Frost’s, “After Apple Picking”

On a recent fall Sunday in Elkins, NH, family and friends had the pleasure of making apple cider while enjoying apple donuts, caramel covered apples, apple bobbing, and apple slices with cheese - all topped off with a reading of Robert Frost's poem, ”After Apple Picking”. 

We made Apple Cider the New Hampshire way:

 1) Pick the apples

 2) Wash the apples

 3) Cut apples into four quarters

 4) Put quartered apples through a masher

 5) Press the mash for the apple cider.

 6) Bottle the cider

 7) Sip and enjoy the cider

Below is a short video of our family oriented day:
