Serves 1

Apple cider syrup is a sweetener made from fresh apple cider. This version is very tart and can be used on pancakes as well as in beverages.

Suits: Vegetarian, Vegan, Pescatarian. Flags come from what shops, restaurants and cooks list and from the ingredient names. Always check the label. This is not medical advice.

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon (3.75 L) fresh apple cider

Method

  1. Transfer the cider to a large nonreactive pot.
  2. Bring the cider to a gentle boil, skimming off the scum that rises to the surface.
  3. Boil the cider until the volume is reduced by about half.
  4. Fold a large piece of cheesecloth to make at least 16 layers, then line a funnel or sieve with it. Moisten the cheesecloth slightly with water.
  5. Strain the cider through the cheesecloth to remove the large particles.
  6. Transfer the strained cider to a nonreactive saucepan, and bring it to a gentle boil.
  7. Cook the cider until it reaches 220–222°F (104–105°C). At this point it should be reduced to about 1¾ cup (415 ml).
  8. Remove from the heat, and transfer to clean jars. Let cool.
