Cider, Hard and Sweet: History, Traditions, and Making Your Own

In this richly informative and entertaining book, Ben Watson explores the cultural and historical roots of cider. He introduces us to its different stylesâ‚¬â€¢draft, farmhouse, French, New England, and sparklingâ‚¬â€¢and also covers other apple products, like apple wine, apple juice, cider vinegar, and Calvados.
Cider is the new thing in todayâ‚¬s drinking world, even though itâ‚¬s been around for centuries. In spite of its long and colorful history, cider has remained relatively underappreciated by the American public. The purchase in 2012 of a Vermont-based cidermaker for over $300 million signaled that this is all likely to change very soon. Richly informative and entertaining, Cider, Hard and Sweet is your go-to source for everything related to apples, cider, and ciderm aking. It includes great information on apple varieties, cidermaking basics, barrel fermentation, and recipes for cooking with ciderâ‚¬â€¢with instructions for making boiled cider and cider jelly, and recipes for dishes with cider braises and marinades. It also teaches readers how to recognize a good cider and takes you from buying store-bought to making the genuine article at home. B&W photographs and illustrations throughout
