Product Reviews
Easy and really quite fun to use, helped me get through all our windfalls and produce our first batch of cider, very excited to taste the result!
It is easy to use and the crusher is effective once the teeth and hopper are lined up correctly. The paint does seem to flake off the press. The size is perfect for family size crops of apples.
Our horticulturist says; "Crushing and pressing fruit to extract juice is a process rich in history, with the production of apple juice and cider stretching back to Norman times. Things have moved on a bit since then, and today, pressing your own home-grown fruit could not be easier.
"These easy to use presses are a great way to start pressing your own fruit and are suitable for squeezing every last drop of juice from apples, pears and grapes and soft berries don't put up much resitance either.
" Collect up windfalls and blemished fruit you would otherwise eat or store, or make friends with neighbours who have an annual glut of fruit from their trees, get ready to apply a bit of elbow grease and the sparkling fresh juice produced is ideal for drinking, freezing, making syrups, ices and jellies or can even be turned into cider or wine.
"It's also possible to experiment with different varieties of fruit to concoct your own unique flavoured juice and don't forget the compacted fruit pulp created when pressing – known as pomace – is suitable for the compost heap.
"We've also run some tests to find out just how efficient using a crusher prior to pressing your apples can be - and the results were staggering! After cutting 30 apples into quarters and putting them straight in the press, we collected 350ml of juice, but running the same amount of quartered apples through a crusher first produced a whopping 1600ml of fresh juice - an increase of 357%!"

The Rake : News and Events
Many of you have more than one fruit tree, and unless you have extrodinary appetites, I am willing to bet that (on a good year) they produce more apples and pears than you can comfortably eat. You could, of course, store them, but how about making apple juice instead? Harrod Horticultural have a range of good-looking fruit presses that can convert your windfalls into something delicious.
