How to Make Apple Cider Reduction
- In a 6-8 quart stock pot, measure out 2 cups of apple cider.
- This recipe yields approximately 1 cup of reduced apple cider.
- Add the remaining apple cider to the pot (total amount will depend on desired yield; see notes below).
- DO NOT use if stored unrefrigerated.
- Place the pot on the stove top over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 2.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
- As the cider reduces, the bubbles will become smaller and the simmer will appear somewhat foamy.
- Reduce heat slightly as needed to prevent scorching or boiling over.
- Once the cider reaches the desired thickness (similar to corn syrup or molasses), remove from heat.
- Let the reduction cool completely.
- Pour into an airtight container.
- Refrigerate and use as desired within 2 weeks.
