Louisberg Cider Mill Pink Lady Apple Cider
What it is
This is a fresh-pressed apple cider made from Pink Lady apples. Pink Lady apples are known for their crisp texture and a balance of tartness and sweetness. The cider captures these apple characteristics, offering a bright and refreshing beverage. It is unfiltered, meaning it retains more of the apple's natural pulp and flavor. This cider is a seasonal product, typically available when apples are at their peak.
How people cook with it
This cider is wonderful on its own or as a base for various culinary creations. It brings a distinct apple flavor to both sweet and savory dishes.
- Enjoy chilled as a beverage.
- Use in mulled cider recipes.
- Incorporate into baking recipes.
- Add to sauces and glazes.
This cider is best served cold, straight from the refrigerator. For a warm treat, gently heat it on the stovetop with mulling spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. It can also be used as a liquid component in baked goods, such as apple cakes or muffins, to enhance the apple flavor. In savory cooking, it can be reduced to create a glaze for pork or chicken, or used as a braising liquid for meats, adding a subtle fruity note and tenderizing qualities.
How it differs from similar foods
