do you find that you get much juice from just juicing them, the last time i tried i was chopping cutting, boiling, straining.....mmm:o was it unecessary (sp?)

I chop into quaters or eights, and yes, depending on juicer, (we have a cheapy one and a better one) we get a fair bit of juice and a very dry pulp left over. Keeping ontop of cleanig the pulp bit makes the most difference...and the stickiest work!

hi feefee great idea. we used to have a community apple press near us that you could book out for free to press your apples with:
http://www.cambridgegreens.org.uk/localsites/cambridge/your-area/abbey/the-apple-press.html you could try asking your local council but this initiative is quite unusual I think! Maybe worth putting an request in a village newspaper as someone might have one they can lend you. my mum's neighbour's are old and have lots of trees so they got an apple press and made it into a fete style event, swapping some apple pressing labour for a percentage of the juice. as far as i know they put it straight in the freezer from pressed. hth
