greetings , sorry for the delay but went away for weekend . the receipe i was given came off another site somewhere and basicially is as follows ...............
500g honey in a pan and simmer untill it changes colour and smells like marshmellows . this takes about 20 min , but beware it froths alot .
let it cool or the cider will not clear .
liquidise a can of pears and juice and pour in demijohn .
add 2litres of apple juice to demijohn .
add honey .
top up to the gallon with apple juice .
when cool enough add some cider yeast .
it takes about two weeks to ferment out , rack when finished and allow to clear . rack again and bottle the next week . add 1 tablespoon vanilla essence per gallon , prime bottles and leave for three weeks . drink cold ( i put mine in the freezer for an hour ) , and enjoy .
shopping list ......4litre apple juice , 500g honey ,can of tinned pears , vanilla essance , cider yeast .
i use lidl , sainsburys , tesco cheap apple juices for my turbo ciders and have good results . hope this helps .......cheers wol
