For smgard-check out the washington post on line for this week--they ran an entire article on boiled cider and how to make it. It makes the entire house smell wonderful, although, the last time I made it, I attracted an entire swarm from a local beekeeper's hives-couldn't get out my back door, had to sneak out the front! Thanks for the tip, Margy! ~Jessica I'd heard you can make it in a slow cooker; I tried it, but took waaaaaaaay too long. I just boiled it on the stove. You do have to watch closely at the end, as it can burn; and you also want to stop boiling when it's not quite as thick as you like, because it'll thicken a bit as it cools. PJH
