introHow to Bottle a Fruit

Trying to fit an apple into a bottle is pretty tough, and will probably result in crushed apple everywhere. But, how do I get the whole apple into the bottle without squishing it in there? Grow it!

This is an experiment that I tried beginning at the start of summer, and concluded it this weekend. Well, I actually forgot about it.

I have no experience in the field of bottling fruits, nor do I have any clue about what I am doing and how to get the best results. It is a fun way to trick your friends, and impress them.

Please let me know what works for you because I am sure others are interested as well.

step 1Gather Your Materials

  • A fruit tree with budding fruits
  • Glass Bottle, either thick neck or tight neck. (It depends on how much you want to trick your friends)
    • Zip ties to hold the bottle in place
    • Time
If you want, for better results you could make use multiple bottles on multiple budding fruits to increase your chances of having a whole fruit grow in the bottle.

Hah, I thought you dried a whole apple and rehydrated it in the bottle.

Some fruits can be shaped by cutaway plastic bottles. For example, small square watermelons, as the rumor goes.

When I was in Europe they were selling some kind of liquor with a pear in it and I was told this was how they did it. I just bought a nectarine tree; perhaps I see some nectarine flavored vodka in the future....

Whoah, epic!!! It's so simple, yet so awesomistificated. If you do this again, I'd suggest updating the picture, the mouldy fruit looks abit unappealing.Lolz, no one will see this coming when I bring to school a bottle with an apple in it. This is what they should do to maths teachers! When they're very young, stick them in a bottle! If only you could do it when they're fully grown and teaching...

It might help to fasten the bottle upside down, then the water can't get in

do it with a watermelon and break the bottle gently when it's fully grown. then cut the top off, hollow it out, and presto! a watermelon bottle!
