Cider disappointment
I picked up some cider yesterday from a normally-good cider stand on
Long Island. This year's batch is sweet and mild like sturdy apple juice (not enough Macs?). I'm not looking for hard (alcoholic) cider, but I like cider with a bite and this stuff does not ring my chimes. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |

I don't know what your weather has been like, but when we lived on the east coast, we found that cider didn't have much of a bite to it until after a frost or two. Frost also sweetened brussels sprouts. gloria p |

I assume this wasn't pasteurized? If it was, you have your answer. -- Jean B. |

Here in Mass. it is really hard to get unpasteurized cider. You sometimes can get it at an apple farm. The pasteurized stuff is soooo lacking in flavor. Might just as well be cloudy apple juice.... BTW, I ran into something on your site in the course of doing a search. Do you collect cookbooks? I need to talk to someone about some aspects of that.... -- Jean B. |

Sue, there doesn't have to be a system. :-) If you have a "bunch" of cookbooks, I think that makes you a collector. -- Wayne Boatwright *¿* _____________________________________________ A chicken in every pot is a *LOT* of chicken! |
