  • Sager Farms Wins Champion Cider for Second
    SCHWARTZ ORCHARDS RECLAIMS TOP HONORS AT THE 2016 ILLINOIS SWEET CIDER CONTESTS Dr. Elizabeth Wahle, Cider Contest Coordinator UI Extension Educator The Illinois State Horticulture Society sponsored its 27th annual Illinois and National Sweet Cider Contests and the 14th annual National Hard Cider Contest, held in conjunction with the Illinois Specialty Crops, Agritourism and Organic Conference on January 7th in Springfield, Illinois. Tom Schwartz of Schwartz Orchards, located at Centralia, IL, produced the No.1 overall rated cider at this year’s contest, repeating his 2014 and 2008 wins in both the National and Illinois contests. Tom pressed his winning cider for this year’s contests with a bladder press using Jonathan and Fuji apples. Second Place Illinois Cider and 2nd Place National Cider went to Joe Ringhausen of Ringhausen Orchards in Fieldon, IL. Trevor Grissom of Grissom’s Lost Creek Orchard in Greenup, IL won Third Place Illinois Cider. Tom Roney of Tuttle Orchards won 3rd Place National Cider. Midwest Cider of Merit 1st Runner-up was awarded to Raoul Bergersen of Valley Orchards in Winnebago, IL. Pat Curran of Curran’s Orchard in Rockford, IL was awarded the Midwest Cider of Merit 2nd Runner-up and the Midwest Cider of Merit 3rd Runner-up went to Craig Tanner of Tanner’s Orchard in Speer, IL. Grissom’s Lost Creek Orchard of Greenup, IL claimed the Champion Hard Cider award, making this their 5th time taking top honors in this category. Trevor Grissom produced his winning hard cider for this year’s contest with a combination of GoldRush, Golden Delicious, Gala and Jonagold apples.

    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 Catalogue 2019
    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

MAKING MEAD BY BRAD SMITH ead, which is a fermented beverage made from honey, is one of the oldest alcoholic M beverages. Vessels found in China dating back to 7000 B.C. have organic compounds consistent with fermented honey and rice. Mead was the revered “nectar of the gods” in ancient Greece and the “drink of kings” throughout history, though it has faded to obscurity in modern times. For homebrewers, mead is a great addition to complement your other fermented offerings. Many of your guests may have never tasted a good quality mead or melomel (fruit mead), but almost everyone enjoys this sweet beverage. Using some modern methods, mead is also relatively easy and quick to make, and you can use equipment you already have on hand for homebrewing. MODERN MEADMAKING TECHNIQUES When I started homebrewing back in 1987, the fermentation of mead was a very slow process, taking 12 to 18 Photo by Charles A. Parker/Images Plus Parker/Images A.

  • Calvados & Other Fruit Spirits
    CALVADOS & OTHER FRUIT SPIRITS There are a lot of different types of fruit based spirits all over the world, most are not particularly famous or consumed other than in the producing country itself, except for the Calvados which goes worldwide. France is the producer of this apple brandy that we call Calvados which will be the primary focus of this section. You might also have come across applejack from North America or other versions of fruit spirits based on cherries, raspberries, pears, plums etc. In short you can base a fruit spirit (brandy) on any kind of fruit and most have been tried and many have very, very old traditions within their country of origin. Calvados Calvados is a fruit spirit produced in northern France where grapes are having a hard time to grow but apples and pears thrive. Calvados is an apple distillate (sometimes with a small addition of pear) and is regulated in French law. In contrast to Cognac and Armagnac which only has one appellation each, Calvados actually has three "Appellation d'origine controlee"; AOC Calvados, AOC Calvados Pays d'Auge and AOC Calvados Domfrontais. Let's break it down below. AOC Calvados Either pot still or copper double-column stills are allowed to be used. Must be aged for at least two years on oak. Accounts for around 70% of the total production of Calvados. AOC Calvados Pays d'Auge Pot stills are to be used exclusively. The fermentation process must be at least 6 weeks contributing to its complex flavour. Must be aged for at least two years on oak.

  • Kale Apple Cake
    RECIPE Hero Vegetable: Kale Kale Apple Cake Ingredients: 2 cups fresh kale, stems removed and roughly chopped 2 cups flour 3 apples, cored, and sliced into wedges 1 ¼ cup sugar ½ cup unsalted butter, melted ½ cup milk 3 eggs 1 Tbs lemon juice 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp salt ¼ cup sliced almonds (optional) powdered sugar for sprinkling(optional) Directions: Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease then fit a round sheet of parchment paper inside the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan, set aside. Steam or lightly boil the kale for about 2 minutes. The kale should be tender. Puree the kale leaves in a blender with a spoonful of water until smooth. Don’t add more water as the kale will release its own juices. (Now if your blender isn’t breaking up the kale easily, you can use the milk at this step instead of later to blend the kale if it makes it easier to puree) In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the eggs, kale puree, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk, mixing until the batter just combined. Pour in the cooled melted butter and beat until well incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. (If the batter is thick, this is ok. The apples will release juices as the cake bakes.) Arrange the apple slices into the batter, pushing them into the batter slightly. Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the cake batter. Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake (not into an apple) comes out clean.
