Thread: Nashi Pear Cider

Mrs Dundee started a thread last night asking "Does anyone else Like Cider"?

Well I do and so do lots of my friends.

This thread inspired me to give it a go and make some.

Thanks Mrs Dundee

I have made apple cider before with my Poppa but that was a couple of decades ago and to tell the truth I really didn't pay too much attention other than it was bloody nice to drink.

I currently have a Nashi tree loaded down with ripe fruit just perfect for making some cider.

So this morning I picked three shopping bags full (one and a bit branches) of Nashi from my tree and juiced it.

End result was 2 1/2 bags of fruit makes two gallons of juice with some Nashi left over for lunches next week.



Next step is to add the yeast, fit air locks, and see what happens over the next couple of weeks.

I'll let you know how I get on.

I sure hope it's at least drinkable

Cheers
Pete
