Despite being sick I bundled myself up and headed to the community garden at The Mitten (a co-op house in West Philly) to help make cider. The apples had been harvested the day before at Linvnilla Orchards and there were tons and tons of them. All different varieties of apples, honeycrisps, gala, winesap, red delicious and golden delicious, and granny smiths. They were beautiful, so many colors and shapes and tastes. The process of washing, cutting, mashing and pressing was awesome, it was hard work but lots of fun. The actual mill and press was very interesting, it was so old but still in such good working condition, it was a really rewarding to be participating in such and old tradition in such an urban setting. The all hard work was worth it, the cider was delish.
After all the hard work we had our apple cowhort RS over for spaghetti non-meat meatballs and some wine. It was the perfect ending to a great day. A day that has me so excited to be in a city with such a great urban food movement.
