A practical and informative half day course on how to juice apples, make cider and prune the apple trees for a healthy orchard and bountiful harvest next year. The course is aimed at the small apple producer (just a few trees in the garden) and will show you how to get the most out of your apples.
We will be preparing apples on site for juicing, the initial stages of cider making and Chris will also explain how to make apple cider vinegar. We will taste last year's juice and cider too for further inspiration!
Chris will walk you around our various orchards for a practical demonstration on pruning of the apple trees. This will include pruning young trees as well as some older ones that may need a lot of work. He'll show you how to rejuvenate a older orchard and what problems to look out for.
Good to Know:
The prestigious Ballymaloe 12 WeekCertificate Course is run three times a year, with courses beginning in January,April or May, and September.
The course is aimed at anyone with a passionate interest in food. Many of our students use the course as a springboard to become a professional chef; others use it to equip themselves with a marketable skill.
Others still take the course simply to maximize the pleasure they get from cooking at home.
Students develop a deep and detailed understanding of food and how it is produced. The emphasis is on recognising the best ingredients and knowing how to showcase them.
