How about a nice, cold glass of apple cider?

When Col K, Theresa Tooley, Sussex Carole, Noreen and company were over here with the Shellbacks a couple of years ago, we offered them a glass of apple cider. Over here, apple cider is as ordinary as it gets, but apparently it isn't, in England. I'm talking apple cider, with a lot of pulp in it... a little on the thick side and brown, rather than the crystal clear golden color of apple juice. Everyone loved it so much that I bought another gallon. Apple cider isn't pasteurized, so it has to be refrigerated or it will go bad... either becoming apple vinegar, or with some encouragement, Apple Jack: a strong alcoholic beverage that retains the apple flavor.

Now I know. When my English friends come over this way and can wind their way up to Derby, Connecticut, we need to have at least one gallon of apple cider in the refrigerator.

Anyone want a glass to celebrate the season?

Do you folks drink apple cider up there in Alaska?
