Wild Apple Verjus/Verjuice

I have not been able to buy Verjuice, so I have decided to make some.
It can be made out of grape or apple juice. As there is a plentiful supply of wild apples this year, it is time to try it.
The wild apples are chopped in half and placed in food processor with a little water and whizzed up until they are broken up into a mash.

Then placed in a jelly bag. Once the apple mash ceases to drip, the juice is ready to be bottled in sterilised bottles. 10% of the total volume of juice is the amount of vodka that is added to act as a preservative.

Wild Kilkenny Apple Verjuice/Verjus ready for consumption. Use to make a salad dressing, instead of vinegar, for a much more subtle taste.
