This year the harvest from the orchard was the best in recent memory. Heck, I'm pretty sure it was the best year my family ever had. Especially the Cortlands. I had enough bushels, I could have made just under a hecto of xxx batch. But with the cold weather, I bet that batch would have frozen a few times if it had been left outside in one of the barrels. And I would have been left with jack.
With Thanksgiving coming up, I would love to give a bottle of special applejuice to my extended family members and carry on my grandfather's traditions. Folks still talk about the very tasty applejuice he used to make, and some folks seem to recall he'd give them out in shoulder size glass bottles with a single cinnamon stick inside. Though I agree that's an odd size to package applejuice, there happens to be a number of those bottles in his workshop.
Hypothetically, if I were to store some apple juice or very strong apple cider for later consumption, would it be a poor idea to leave a cinnamon stick in it for an extended period of time? What would I have to take into consideration?
Hypothetically. I would love to continue the tradition, but I'm pretty confident the tradition was a little illegal. At least, in spirit.
