How many pounds are in a peck of apples?

These measurements are approximate because the number of apples that fit into a peck-sized container, or a bushel-sized one, varies depending on the size of the apples (or other produce being measured). Pecks and bushels are both dry measures, while the pound is a measure of weight.\nA peck typically makes three or four 9-inch pies, while a bushel makes 15 of those same pies. Pick Your Own converts a bushel of apples into 10 to 12 quarts of juice, or 12 to 15 quarts of applesauce (no sugar added). A peck makes 2 to 3 quarts of juice, or 2 to 4 quarts of applesauce.

What is the difference between beer and cider?

While both beer and cider rely on fermented sugars to produce alcohol, the two beverages start from very different ingredients. Beer begins with malt, which is grain that has been germinated and then dried. This creates enzymes that break the starch inside the grain down into sugars. The brewer then adds water and yeast, and the yeast converts the sugar into alcohol. Finally, flower buds called hops are added to produce additional flavor and aroma and help preserve the beer.\nCider, on the other hand, begins with only apple juice and yeast. Since the juice already contains plenty of sugar, the..

Twelve dozens make up a gross, while 12 gross make up a great gross.\nBaked goods are sometimes sold in a unit c..
