Those who know me, know that I am not the greatest housewife. But there is one domestic thing that I am quite good at. And that is making apple-drink. Or \u201csaft\u201d as it\u00b4s called in Norway. Anyway. Being an apple-patriot (I have three trees in my garden), I\u00b4d thought I\u00b4d take you through the recipe. It\u00b4s hysterically easy. <\/p>\n
First you need apples:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Cut them in 4 or 6 or 8, depending on how big they are. Fill a big pan (about 10 litre-size) and add 1,5 litres of water.<\/p>\n
Bring them to a boil, and let them boil until they are all mushy:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Have them over in a strong linen-cloth over a big bowl. Probably a good idea to use a cloth intended for this purpose:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The juice will flow through, and into your bowl. Leave it at least three-four hours, to let as much as possible of the juice run through. But don\u00b4t be tempted to \u201chelp\u201d by pushing the apples towards the linen. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Put it back in the pan and bring it to a boil again. You might want to be near the stove and stir every once in a while, so it doesn\u00b4t stick to the bottom of the pan, and the whole thing tastes burned.<\/p>\n
Once it\u00b4s boiling, take it off the heat and add sugar while you stir. You need about a kilo sugar for 8 litres of juice. Or less. Depends on your taste. Come to think of it, I prefer less\u2026 Maybe half a kilo is enough. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I re-use old wine-bottles (and such) with a screw-cork, a metal pourer, and the little funnel.<\/p>\n
Before pouring, make sure the bottles are absolutely clean. Fill them with as hot water as possible from the tap, and leave it to warm the glass. That way they won\u00b4t break when you pour the juice into them.<\/p>\n
![\"pouring\"](\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/pouring.jpg\" "\\"pouring\\"")
<\/p>\n
Pour almost all the way to the top, screw the cork real tight, and lay them down. If there is no air under the cork, they\u00b4ll keep much longer. I\u00b4ve had some bottles or years, and they are just fine, even though there are no preservatives in them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Mix the juice with 2\/3 of water, and serve cold. Delicious!<\/p>\n

This years production from my sister\u00b4s tree. A couple of years ago I made 70 litres from my three trees!<\/p>\n
