I own a foley mill. I just quarter washed apples, add a small amount of water, cook until very soft and then run it all through the foley mill. That gives it that great colour too and it is delicious. I have used many different kinds of local apples, whatever is available. The only problem is that it takes a lot of apples and my knittingwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186915190478793571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-32784526563183140372007-10-29T10:50:00.000-07:002007-10-29T10:50:00.000-07:00This is how my grandmother makes hers (and thus ho...This is how my grandmother makes hers (and thus how I make mine, since in my family, we seem to have the recipes genetically encoded).

Save the drippings, chill, and drink as apple juice (or heat with spices for hot apple cider). Puree the apples in the food processor, adding a tiny bit of liquid back in if needed.
