- As is not uncommon, usage varies by locality. In the areas I'm familier
- with (north-western Pennsylvania, central New York, Vermont, New Hampshire,
- and Massachusetts), the following definitions hold:
-
- Apple juice - Strained, sweetened, filtered, pasteurized,
- homogenized, etc. juice from apples.
-
- Cider (also "sweet cider") - The fresh, unfiltered product of
- pressing oxidized apple pulp.
-
- Hard cider - "Cider" (see above) allowed to ferment (which is
- what happens if you just leave it in the refrigerator
- too long).
-
- Mulled cider - Sweet cider heated to steaming hot with spices
- like clove and cinnamon.
-
- Apple Jack - (If I remember this story correctly!) Take sweet
- cider and set it outside in the fall. It'll ferment
- happily until you get a good, hard freeze. Pour off the
- applejack. (Essentially an apple brandy distilled by
- freezing out the water.)
