And you have more options. You need not use juices just for jelly. You can bottle them, sugared or not, and use them later for beverages. We often have opened a variety of juices and had a "tasting party," serving the juices with cheese and crackers. Sometimes, for a quick dessert, I will make a fruit pudding using one of the juices, or a combination of juices when you have some left from the juice tasting party. See the basic recipes for ideas and directions.
It is simple to make applesauce using Mehu-Liisa. Simply cut up the apples and steam until soft, then put through strainer or food mill to strain out seeds and cores. Reheat with some of the juice that was extracted, or add juice back to sauce and boil down until thickened, then seal in canning jars."

Ê
Spiced apple juice
10 pounds apples, hard, ripe, juicy varieties (may be windfalls)
1 cup sugar (optional), omit if apples are to be used for jelly
10 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
4 whole allspice
Wash the apples and remove leaves or other debris. Apples need not be cut up, however, you get more juice from cut fruit and you fit more into the steamer basket, too. Sprinkle with sugar if used, add the cloves, cinnamon sticks and allspice. Top with second half of the apples. Cover and steam over rapidly boiling water for 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours or until apples have turned into a tasteless, colorless mush. Extract juice into hot sterilized bottles or jars and top with bottle caps or two-part lids. Or use immediately for some of the following recipes.
For plain apple juice: Omit spices.
Apple Cranberry punch
Combine 3 cups chilled apple juice, 2 cups chilled cranberry juice and 1 bottle (1 quart) chilled ginger. Serve over ice cubes in punch cups and garnish with sliced orange.
Hot apple punch
Heat spiced apple punch. Top with a dab of butter and serve.
Apple grape punch
Make the above apple cranberry punch using grape juice in place of cranberry juice.

Cherry juice
10 pounds tart, sweet, red or black cherries

Chokecherry juice
10 pounds chokecherries

Makes about 3 & 1/2 quarts, depending on the juiciness of the berries.
Chokecherry wine
Chokecherries are excellent for making a dry red wine. Follow directions in winemaking booklets and pamphlets. As winemaking is a long-time process requiring special utensils and techniques, we refer you to the specialized information sources.
