How 10 Preserve Cider Sweet.


From time to time many ways
hare been rec ,mmended, and many
directions given, to preserve and keep
apple cider 10 way that it will
H.tain its freshness, and that peculiar
1,vor that it possesses when it is
first manufactured, and also to pre-

the various methods proposed, more
or less expense and Inconvenience at
tends them AL, but the most effective
the simplest and the cheapest way that
Ihaye ever tried, is to scald the cider
previous to its fermentation. My
method Of treating my cider, which !
wish to keep sweet and fresh, is to
heat it until it boils. and then take il
from the fire and cool it, put it II
o1sks and close them air tight. Ii
this way / have kept it without an,
apparent change, until cider that wa
put up without scsldings wouli u
sour enough for vinegar. How long
it may be preserved in this way | q
