oh yum! I can't wait to go apple picking up in Glastonbury. Great apples, beautiful views. Re the boiled cider- I found I can make it quite easily- when cider goes on sale, usually two for one, I buy a bunch. Put in a large crockpot and cook all night with the lid off. The house smells great and the syrup does not scorch. Stir before going to bed and stir in the morning. When reduced by over half, spoon a bit onto a saucer and when it cools, observe the consistancy. Too thin- keep cooking. Too thick- add a bit of water, stir, and bottle. Works perfectly.
