What each ingredient does

Apple pumace
Provides the juice, which is pressed out of the pulp and heated.

The step that matters

Use fresh pumace within six hours of pressing. Once pressed, the juice's sugars begin to ferment quickly. Using the pumace while it is fresh helps prevent fermentation, which would change the flavor of the finished juice.
