Birds are still getting all the apples from my young trees, but
someone gave me a bushel or so of apples, macs and something else.
Rather unjuicy apples; my Dad (who grew up in Massachusetts working
on orchards with proper Macintoshes ), was disappointed, the growers
probably didn't irrigate heavily (we have a very dry climate) and I
wonder how well they'd press. They dry easily :-) but as an aside a
ripe bosc pear dries much better. Heavenly.

Anyway, my (dumb) question: as I fantasize about the Lehmans's cider
press and read how you just drop the apples in whole, I wonder about
bug damage - a good percent of these apples have black stuff
presumably from bugs, just at the cores, easy to cut out for drying...
I can only imagine you need to cut this out for cider too?

I also hear the local rentals place has a cider press you can rent for
$16/weekend.
