Apple cider - simple cooking recipe

Ingredients:

Preparation

For the preparation of cider washed apple fruits cut in half, rid of the core with seeds and grind through a meat grinder. Apple mass is mixed with granulated sugar and peeled boiled water at room temperature, add also a peel of one large lemon and mix. Place the mixture in a glass or enameled container, cover with a folded four-gauze cut and leave it for fermentation for about seven days at room temperature.

At the end of the time, we filter the mass several times in two or three layers of gauze, remove the hard base, and add sugar, if desired, at about 30 grams per liter, mix and stir for another three weeks. Then filter the mixture again, if necessary, filter it with a cotton swab, pour it on bottles, close with stoppers and store it in a cool place.

Cider pear - quick recipe

Ingredients:

Preparation

Pears for cooking cider is better not to wash, if there is such an opportunity. Dilute the same fruits rinse under running water, and then dry before further processing. We cut the pears in half, extract the core with seeds and squeeze the juice from the fruit in any convenient way. Then we pour it on 3 liter cans (not up to the top), cover with gauze and place it in a darkened place at room temperature.

In a few days, when obvious signs of fermentation are visible (the mass begins to hiss and give off foam), add to it granulated sugar at the rate of 50-60 grams per liter of fluid, mix and put on each container a medical rubber glove, before piercing it with a needle with one finger. Leave the masses to wander for two or three weeks. When the fermentation process stops (this will be indicated by a blown glove), we filter the liquid, pour it into bottles, add to each one another 10 grams of granulated sugar per liter and plug it with stoppers. We make sure that there are about five to seven centimeters in each capacity. We let the cider stay two more weeks at room temperature and three or four days in the refrigerator and can taste it.
