Yesterday, with my trusty Mehu Liisa steam juicer, I got a whole gallon of juice from a gallon of pin cherries. Now that doesn&#8217;t seem possible, but it&#8217;s true. Wow, am I impressed! What a wonderful invention that is!<\/p>\n<p>And our orchard is doing great too. Our apple and cherry trees are loaded in spite of being young &#8212; not more than four years old (all standard varieties, too). The Norland apple is loaded for its second year. It&#8217;s a tasty, crisp apple but doesn&#8217;t store well so I&#8217;ll be making plenty of applesauce and canned apples. Some of our trees that have never had apples for us to sample have fruit on them this year and we are so excited.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Meteor-cherry.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3438\" alt=\"Meteor-cherry\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Meteor-cherry.gif\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Norland-apples.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3439\" alt=\"Norland-apples\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Norland-apples.gif\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We still have six Manchurian apricots on our vigorous tree.
