To this add four quarts of apples peeled and cut into small pieces. If the texture of the apples is coarse they should be boiled and put through a strainer before being added to the. cider. Boil l this mixture until the cider does not separate from the pulp. When two-thirds done add one pound of sugar. One-half teaspoonful of cinnamon, allspice and cloves may be added. Pour into sterilized Jars and steam for five minutes.
