Re: English Style Ciders
My husband just makes cider, way cheaper and much better. Just some organic apple juice, sugar and yeast of choice, stir and let sit for a few weeks. SIL and husband had a competition recently, SIL added pomegranate juice and Husband added tart cherrry juice. Both excellent.
thanks

Re: English Style Ciders
Ok since I don't drink alcohol is this cider alright for me.
I'm confused because one post said they add corn syrup or other sugars so I don't know which is which.

Re: English Style Ciders
In this case, cider is alcohol. A lot of alcoholic ciders in the US are sweetened to be more like alcopops and have a more mass appeal.

FIFY .... I presume that "pear cider" is just another step in the progressive dumbing-down of our language.
Sounds nothing like scrumpy to me which is the unfiltered juice of apples which are left almost to the point of rotting before being crushed. When I was a child, a nearby apple farm used to have large stacks of crated apples awaiting being turned into scrumpy, and I could never believe how rough they looked.
