The family and I had a succesful weekend of cider pressing. Every year we go over to my in-law’s home and press apples for fresh cider. This year we used Honeycrisp apples that my father-in-law grows, as well as Red Delicious apples from Yakima and a few other varieties. We were pressing about 1 bushel of apples to yield a gallon or gallon and one-half. This is the first year I’ve really paid attention to yield per bushel. Does anyone else have any statistics on how many gallons of cider they yield per bushel or box of apples?

We press cider every year and get about the same yield. 1 – 1.5 gallons per box. Not a very cost effective way to get cider but it sure is a fun tradition in our family. We make wine from the cider every year as well. Delicious!
