Questions about Hard cider
What is hard cider, and is it the same as cider?
Hard cider is apple juice fermented into an alcoholic drink. In the UK and some other places, “cider” usually means the alcoholic drink; in the US, “apple cider” often means unfermented apple juice.
How should you serve hard cider?
Serve it well chilled, around 7–10 °C. Pour slowly into a glass to keep the fizz, especially if it is bottle-conditioned and has sediment.
How do you use hard cider in cooking?
Use a dry hard cider to deglaze a pan after browning pork or sausages, then simmer it with stock, mustard and sliced apples for a sauce. Let it bubble for a few minutes before adding other ingredients so the sharp, raw alcohol aroma cooks off.
What food goes well with hard cider?
Its apple acidity works particularly well with roast pork, sausages and mature Cheddar. Try it with a cheese board or alongside a savoury apple tart.
How should you store hard cider after opening?
Keep an opened bottle tightly sealed in the fridge and drink it within a few days; it will gradually lose its fizz. Store unopened bottles somewhere cool and dark, away from heat.
How is hard cider made?
Yeast ferments the sugars in pressed apple juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Some makers ferment in a sealed vessel to retain the bubbles; others add carbonation later.
Can children drink hard cider?
No: hard cider is alcoholic, so it is not a drink for children. Keep bottles out of their reach and serve them a non-alcoholic alternative.
