The plums given to us by T&M have been fermenting quietly in a plastic milk churn for a month now. I decided to put them through the cider press (as constructed by Mr. C). The juice will be left to settle out for a couple of days before being – ahem – further processed through a length of copper pipe.
I also gathered a couple of buckets full of windfall pears from the aged FIL’s garden, and put these through the scratter. Tomorrow they will go through the cider press as well, with a view to making some more perry, or possibly something slightly stronger…
