I am lucky enough to have an apple tree in the garden and now have TONS of apples.

What to do with them before they all fall/rot/get eaten by things?

Wondering how easy it would be to make apple juice...

@ljs Neither am I, for the same reason. You don't *have* to ferment what comes out of it...

@ljs Homemade apple sauce is delicious and consumes a frightening amount of apple

@ljs clean them / cut them and freeze them. Then this winter when you crave an apple pie or w/e you can do that!

If there is really a lot, then doing apple juice might be a good idea but unless you pasteurise it it won't last long.

@ljs My parents take their apples to some kind of juice factory and then you can get it as juice and//or jam. If I had to deal with apples, I'd probably do the same, take them somewhere, pay and support a small business and get consumable products :-)

Without having a clue I'm 100% sure that UK has that kind of businesses scattered around the island.

@ljs I mean, I freeze pretty much everything nowadays. The only problem is that they are high in water, so they might get a bit mushy when defrosted. You don't really care if it's for use in puree / pies etc.

Also, whenever I can I always put fruits/vegs under vacuum before freezing. It helps a lot in retaining the water content, and the resulting product is way closer to the fresh equivalent.
