Hahaha! LOVE that people are trying to make something that's supposed to be all sweet using apple cider VINEGAR! You're making a very thick gastrique (sweet &amp; sour) instead people! <br />It's called APPLE CIDER &amp; sometimes you can find it in both unfiltered (which I prefer) &amp; filtered which is clear &amp; looks more like apple juice, but without any added sweeteners. Thanks for the good laugh people! <br />This recipe is a great one &amp; since family was over, we had an Apple Butter making &amp; canning day before Thanksgiving, since we had plenty of apples from our two apple trees.
