What is the shelf life of an opened bottle left unrefrigerated? It looks and smells fine, but I don't want to be wrong..... <strong>It should be fine - it's got a lot of sugar, which preserves it. If it was moldy I might question it, but stick it in the fridge - it'll keep longer... PJH</strong> I didn’t know to refrigerate my bottle of boiled cider!

It should be fine – it’s got a lot of sugar, which preserves it. If it was moldy I might question it, but stick it in the fridge – it’ll keep longer… PJH

Do you have other recipes that use boiled apple cider? I'll try your fresh apple cake recipe later. Do you think I could use it instead of honey in muffins, or would that taste too strong?<strong> We have several recipes that call for boiled cider. If you click on recipes on our home page, then type boiled cider into the search box, it will bring them up. A customer just wrote that she used it in her mashed sweet potatoes. I'm not sure it would substitute for honey in a muffin recipe 100%, but maybe for half the amount. Try it and let us know. Use it whereever you want to impart a nice apple flavor. Have fun with it!

This weekend's apple sauce, and sliced apples for pies for the freezer. I only brought home half a bushel, but it seems to be going on forever! :) Meanwhile, for folks in California, boiled cider and other wonders can be had at Oak Glen (So.

I have a different apple recipe that I wanted the boiled cider for, but your lovely recipe reminded me to order. Susan's tip about trying maple syrup is also helpful. Thanks for carrying such usual items in your catalog. Wow, I’m glad I ordered when I did (scored a bottle for me and a bottle to give as a gift).

The instructions are basically right in the name; take cider, boil it. Are we really that dependent on other people? <strong>SK, For most folks it is simply impossible to create this ingredient at home. For 1 pint of finished boiled cider you must begin with 2 1/2 gallons of cider. That is a 20 to 1 reduction. The cider must be preheated to just below boiling (without scorching) before is is passed through the evaporating pan (again without scorching). This can only be accomplished using traditional maple sugaring techniques and equipment. Frank @ KAF.</strong> Why not just make this at home?

The cake was amazing and knowing that maple syrup works will make my wait for the boiled cider much more delicious. The apple cake recipe is a definite keeper. Thank you!

It is also a real convenience when I need apple cider for a pork recipe, etc. Otherwise you have to buy a big jug of the stuff. But I do have one question that I've been meaning to ask one of your bakers -- what is the refrigerated shelf life of the boiled cider, and can I freeze small quantities of it? Thanks!
