apple juice from cooking apples ?

[Mattk]

I have a cooking apple tree in my garden and every year we throw loads of apples out as we just cant use them quick enough.

i did toy with making homebrew cider but the processes involved took too long so now im wondering if simple apple juice can be made from cooking apples ?

any help appreciated.

Don't know about apple juice, but someone will surely be able to advise. My mum always made apple sauce from her apples, which she then put in the deep freeze in little pots to use as and when needed. Also she made the filling for apple pies or crumble and just made them as and when needed so that dad could have home-made apple pie out of season.

 

Myself, although I don't mind apples as fruit, I hate them sweetened or cooked and made into puddings or other things, like toffee apples or baked stuffed apples - PUKE!

I would think they would be too sour to use for juice

We have excess apples in the fall and we core the apples and cook them (not necessary to peel them).  In a large (3 gallon) cooker place enough apples to near the rim, add about 1 quart of water and cook until the apples become mush.  This is then strained through a colander and again through a cheesecloth.  The juice can then be frozen for later use.  We use the juice in the winter to make apple jelly, reusing the pint jars that we used in the fall jelly making.  Our apples are Jonathan variety... they make a really nice pink jelly...

I don't think that the juice will taste good.
