BOOKS FOR CIDER MAKING Claude Jolicoeur 197 Aberdeen Québec, Québec, Canada, G1R 2C9 Tel. (418) 524-6833 E-mail [email protected] After now 10 years of cider making and collecting books on the subject, I thought I could share these books and my opinion on them with the NAFEX community. The first book I got on the subject, and the one I still consider the most useful is by Annie Proulx and Lew Nichols, 1980, Garden Way Publishing: "Sweet & Hard Cider - Making it, Using it & Enjoying it", 188 pages. It contains pretty much everything one has to know to start with this extremely enjoyable activity: basic procedures, recipes, notes on orcharding and cider apples. It is simple enough for the beginner, yet complete enough for the more experienced cider maker to browse through it again and again. It is the book I recommend to anyone who ask me for something on the subject. I know there is now a new edition of this book, but I haven’t seen it yet. Another one that was written with the same objectives is Jo Deal’s "Making Cider", published by G.W. Kent inc. in 1985, 94 pages. This one is a bit strange because although it is published in the USA, it’s essentially a British book: almost all the cider varieties mentioned are English and the sources mentioned are also in England. Personally, I don’t find this book as useful and complete as the one from Proulx and Nichols. Now, we will get into books that are more specialized. -

Apples: Organic Production Guide
A project of the National Center for Appropriate Technology 1-800-346-9140 • www.attra.ncat.org Apples: Organic Production Guide By Tammy Hinman This publication provides information on organic apple production from recent research and producer and Guy Ames, NCAT experience. Many aspects of apple production are the same whether the grower uses low-spray, organic, Agriculture Specialists or conventional management. Accordingly, this publication focuses on the aspects that differ from Published nonorganic practices—primarily pest and disease control, marketing, and economics. (Information on March 2011 organic weed control and fertility management in orchards is presented in a separate ATTRA publica- © NCAT tion, Tree Fruits: Organic Production Overview.) This publication introduces the major apple insect pests IP020 and diseases and the most effective organic management methods. It also includes farmer profiles of working orchards and a section dealing with economic and marketing considerations. There is an exten- sive list of resources for information and supplies and an appendix on disease-resistant apple varieties.

Assessment of Nutritional Parameters of Native Apple
ACTA UNIVERSITATIS AGRICULTURAE ET SILVICULTURAE MENDELIANAE BRUNENSIS Volume LX 3 Number 5, 2012 ASSESSMENT OF NUTRITIONAL PARAMETERS OF NATIVE APPLE CULT IVARS AS NEW GENE SOURCES J. Balík, O. Rop, J. Mlček, P. Híc, M. Horák, V. Řezníček Received: April 6, 2012 Abstract BALÍK, J., ROP, O., MLČEK, J., HÍC, P., HORÁK, M., ŘEZNÍČEK, V.: Assessment of nutritional parameters of native apple cultivars as new gene sources. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 5, pp. 27– 38 Although there are tens of diff erent apple varieties in Europe, only some of them were purposefully bred and selected in the past. In spite of the fact that they can have outstanding nutritional and technological properties, the majority of them are of only a local importance. The objective of this study was to show and popularize altogether 35 local apple varieties which are typical of the conditions of Central Europe. However, their genetic uniqueness represents an irreplaceable ecological wealth and for that reason these local varieties could become a new and outstanding source of nutrients and food. Today, they can be used not only for direct consumption and in food industry but also as a potential material for further breeding and selection. It was found out in our experiments that the highest content of total acids was shown by the variety ’Citronové zimní’ (6.1 g.kg−1 of fresh matter). As far as the content of pectins was concerned, the highest levels were found out in the variety ’Strymka’ (3.26% in fresh matter). Of minerals, potassium showed the highest levels in fruit; for example, the variety ’Boikovo’ contained 9.70 ppm of this element in dry matter. -

Calvados Is a Particular Distilled Apple And/Or Pear Cidre Made Only in Certain Recognized Areas, Primarily in the Calvados Department of Normandy, France
Calvados is a particular distilled apple and/or pear cidre made only in certain recognized areas, primarily in the Calvados department of Normandy, France. Only the distilled CALVADOS cidre from these areas can be called Calvados. Calvados is divided into three further designations or Appellations d’Origine Contrôllée (AOC), which are special certifications distinguishing Calvados based on distinctive terroirs, the type of fruit used and the method of distillation. The three Calvados AOCs are AOC Calvados, AOC Calvados Pays D’Auge, and AOC Calvados Domfrontais. REGION AGING INDICATIONS AOC Calvados Pays d’Auge is produced in a geographic Blends (un assemblage): Once the Calvados in the barrels has region called Pays d’Auge in the Calvados department.

Sweet Spreads–Butters, Jellies, Jams, Conserves, Marmalades and Preserves–Add Zest to Meals
Sweet spreads–butters, jellies, jams, conserves, marmalades and preserves–add zest to meals. They can be made from fruit that is not completely suitable for canning or freezing. All contain the four essential ingredients needed to make a jellied fruit product–fruit, pectin, acid and sugar. They differ, however, depending upon fruit used, proportion of different ingredients, method of preparation and density of the fruit pulp. Jelly is made from fruit juice and the end product is clear and firm enough to hold its shape when removed from the container. Jam is made from crushed or ground fruit. The end product is less firm than jelly, but still holds its shape. This circular deals with the basics of making jellies and jams, without adding pectin. Recipes for making different spreads can be found in other food preservation cookbooks. Recipes for using added pectin can be found on the pectin package insert sheets. Essential Ingredients Fruit furnishes the flavor and part of the needed pectin and acid. Some irregular and imperfect fruit can be used. Do not use spoiled, moldy or stale fruit. Pectin is the actual gelling substance. The amount of pectin found naturally in fruits depends upon the kind of fruit and degree of ripeness. Underripe fruits have more pectin; as fruit ripens, the pectin changes to a non-gelling form. Usually using 1⁄4 underripe fruit to 3⁄4 fully-ripe fruit makes the best product. Cooking brings out the pectin, but cooking too long destroys it. High pectin fruits are apples, crabapples, quinces, red currants, gooseberries, Eastern Concord grapes, plums and cranberries. -

Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to fingertip-tight. 5. Place jars in canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes for altitudes up to 1,000 feet; 15 minutes for 1,001-3,000 feet, and 20 minutes for 3,001-6,000 feet. -
Raspberry and Blueberry Jam from the Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving
Dilemma. There is so much produce out there and it is all so wonderful and there is so much we can do with it and should I make jam, pickles, dehydrate it, pressure can it and should I spice it or enjoy the pure taste of the fruit or vegetable and, and, and… Ok, decision made. Berry season is in full swing. If we are not growing berries in our gardens we have many local berry farms. We can buy them at the farmers market, local produce stands or, even more fun, take the family on a day trip to a local u-pick berry farm. Let’s go for a flavorful but uncomplicated berry jam. Raspberry-blueberry. Yeah. I’m already dreamin’ about this on a scone or in a Trifle. Read the whole recipe before you get started. Make sure you have enough berries and all the ingredients. Also, note the type of pectin used. In this recipe we are using liquid pectin. It can be found most places that sell powdered pectin. Pectin’s are not created equal. Liquid pectin is added at the end of the process where powdered pectin is added at the beginning of the process. You cannot substitute powdered pectin for liquid pectin. The amount and type of pectin in a recipe is carefully formulated for the amount of acid in the fruit vs the amount of sugar used. Always read the recipe and the directions on the box of pectin to insure a proper gel is achieved. A little bit of advice on making jams with mixed fruit.
