Damn man 4 bushels…. That’s a lot! The most we’ve processed at once is about 150 pounds… which was a bushel n a half. What did you use? Great show of pow!

We used to just cook l batches of the same ratio, so it was all pretty much identical. I don't know the number of bushels, but between us and our neighbors, we'd have 300 quarts. My T1D son really loved it but since his diagnosis he can't eat it (sugar is the medicine for a low blood sugar). So we don't keep it around anymore. He and I eat low carb (most of the time) and it's helped us both (for different reasons).

It's Jonathan, Macintosh, Cortland, Yellow Delicious. It's a real nice blend, sweet and tangy.

We cook each variety separately and blend after. I think the Jonathan's cook slower than the others, so we'd get some scorching if we mixed varieties while cooking.

Interesting... that sounds like a "pro tip"!

That's what my in-laws tell me. I definitely noticed differing cook times though. Macintosh cook fast
