Is cooked apple juice the same as apple cider?

[Guest guest]

I cannot find any apple cider. Would it be okay to buy apple juice

from a local farmer that only uses apples and presses them to make

juice. If we bought this and then cooked it would it be okay to use or

is there something to do with the fermentation process that makes apple

cider different than apple juice?

Thanks

Apple cider is apples that are pressed with nothing else done to them. If

this is what you can get from a local farm, I wonder why they don't call it

apple cider.

This apple juice sounds fine..... in fact, that is exactly what Elaine meant

when she refers to " apple cider " .... she meant fresh-pressed.... just the

apples, straight from the press into the bottle. It's okay that it's not

cooked.... because the fiber has been strained out.

You *may* want to heat it... just to pasteurize it.... to avoid any possible bad

bugs. I know there have been cases of e.coli from unpasteurized apple juice...

although it's probably very rare. Anyway, beginners on SCD must cook their

apples before eating.... but it's not a requirement to cook fresh JUICE.

You DON'T want it to begin fermenting at all...... you want the fresh,

unfermented apple juice/cider. I honestly think the terminology just depends on

where you live and what people call it in your region.

By the way, you can FREEZE fresh pressed apple cider/juice.... just leave enough

headspace in the jar or container so that it can expand some as it freezes.
