Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Raw Cider & Raw Vinegar & Raw Milk products are the healthiest, also raw nuts--but even those can't be bought at the stores anymore! snip: Making cider is easy. The press I've got is an antique very similar to one that you can buy from Lehman's at the link below. Being a lazy sod I've motorized the one I've got, but it involves simply grinding apples into a mash, pressing out the juice and then filtering it through cheese cloth or in my case an undershirt. Tastes best if your not too hygienic and can enlist a few kids to help gather apples. We'd make an afternoon of it and everyone would bring a gallon or two home with them. I've never made vinegar, but if I was to try, I think I'd buy an organic vinegar that still has the mother and just pour a bottle into a couple of gallons of unpasteurized cider and let it work. My wife buys a brand called Braggs that is unfiltered and contains the mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Dunno about raw milk products but I used to be able to buy some great raw cider from a farmer years ago in Massachusetts. Ah those were the days. Thing is, though, you have to be careful to refrigerate well or you have quite an alcoholic content in that apple juice! Thanks for the instructions on how to make, motorized or not - and no I'd never dream of calling you a lazy sod LOL (But tell me, is there a particular brand of undershirt you like to use for this method???? For how long should it be worn??? Yeah yeah, I'm teasing you!) As for Braggs Cider Vinegar, it's great, I agree - we've been using it for some years now, although not exclusively. Btw, I can't recall, but are you going raw in other ways (apart from - wait for it - removing your undershirt)? (And yeah yeah, I'm teasing again - about the undershirt, not about going raw.) I think there are a number of raw foodists - at least highly raw people - on this group. I'm working at it myself.
