Cooking with cider

Its not only delicious to create recipes using real ale, but now beer's organic apply cousin is getting in on the act.

Have a look and see what different culinary delights you could be enjoying. You will be surprised that its more than just pork that goes with cider!

I've borrowed some tips from new york cider website to give you some food for thought.

When cooking with cider, you can generally substitute the water in the recipe with cider. This gives a new and sweeter flavour.

Why not...

Use cider instead of water for onion or lentil soups...

Add more flavour to home made apple sauce by substituting the water with cider...

Create a superior gravy by making half the liquid cider and half water...

Sautee onions in cider for a nice sweet flavour...

Boil carrots or sweetcorn in cider...

Use cider instead of water to make superdumplings...

Baste your chicken or turkey using cider

Mmmm! If these ideas have got your tastebuds going, why not have a look at our index of recipes for cooking with cider --->
