Ingredients
- 1 jug of good apple cider (I used a 2.63 liter of honeycrisp apple cider)
Instructions
- Pour the whole jug of apple cider into a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer or boil gently until reduced to 2 cups. This will take a few hours (3-4).
- When about 1 quart of apple cider remains, start measuring the cider periodically as it continues to cook until you reach 2 cups.
- Remove from the stove and let sit for a few minutes.
- Pour into a heat-safe container and let cool completely.
- Store in the fridge.
- This will last for months in the fridge.
- Use as a flavoring or glaze for meats, vegetables, salad dressings, desserts, etc.
Notes
Tips:
- Store in the fridge.
- May cool to a stick, honey-like consistency. To soften, microwave for a minute.
