Preparation
- Step 1
Put the cider in a large, wide pot and bring to a boil. Skim the foam and continue to boil it for 30 minutes or so, until it is reduced to 1 ½ cups.
- Step 2
While the cider is cooking down, peel, core and slice the apples thin. Put the sliced apples in a bowl of water and add the juice of half the lemon.
- Step 3
When the cider has boiled down, drain the apples and add them to the pot with the cider. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes until the apple slices are tender and have begun to look translucent but have not lost their shape.
- Step 4
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apple slices to a bowl. Sweeten the cider to taste with sugar or honey and boil it for a few minutes until it is a little syrupy. Add a squeeze or two of lemon juice to sharpen the flavor, then pour the syrup over the apples. Serve warm or cold.
