Re: unpasteurized apple juice
(called cider by the US heathen masses
Easy there, me'hardy! EVERYONE knows the difference between apple juice
and apple cider in these parts :-)
Apple juice is the pressing from a single variety of apple (such as
Jonathon or Red Delicious) whereas cider is a blend of pressings from
several varieties. I learned to make cider back in the early 70's from
the Open Fields landlord. The best cider is a mix of about 50% tart
apples, 40% sweet, and 10% neutral heavy-bodied.
Or, am I just not a heathen because of MY Scottish ancestory? :-P
