100% Unfiltered Apple Cider
What it is
This is 100% pure apple cider, made from pressed apples. It is unfiltered, meaning it retains more of the natural pulp and sediment from the apples. This gives it a cloudy appearance and a richer, more robust apple flavor compared to filtered ciders. It is a natural beverage, often enjoyed for its fresh taste.
How people cook with it
Apple cider is a versatile ingredient and beverage. It can be enjoyed on its own or used in various culinary applications.
- Drinking chilled
- Warming with spices
- Baking ingredient
- Sauce base
Enjoy this cider chilled as a refreshing drink, especially on a warm day. For a cozy experience, gently warm it on the stovetop with mulling spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. It can also be used as a base for glazes and sauces, adding a sweet and tart apple note to pork or chicken dishes. In baking, it can add moisture and flavor to cakes, muffins, and breads, or be reduced to create a concentrated apple syrup.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike filtered apple juice, this unfiltered cider has a thicker texture and a more intense, less processed apple taste. The presence of apple solids contributes to its characteristic cloudiness and a slightly more complex flavor profile. It is not fermented like apple cider vinegar.
Who it is for
Home cooks and beverage enthusiasts who appreciate natural, full-bodied fruit flavors will enjoy this cider.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the cider refrigerated to maintain its freshness. It is best consumed within a week of opening. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent spoilage and to keep out any unwanted odors from the refrigerator.
