I recently read that cider is made from apples that have natural yeast on them (and will therefore ferment) whereas juice is made from apples that have been cleaned to remove the yeast. I don't know if this means that cider is made from unwashed apples. Either can be clear or cloudy. I've seen both types in the store. -- Scott Orshan Bell Communications Research 201-981-3064 {ihnp4,bellcore,pyuxww}!u1100a!sdo

I had allways heard that apple juice was boiled (heated?) to disinfect it. This keeps the juice from fermenting. I'm not exactly sure what heating does to the cider before it becomes juice (other than disinfect it) but there certainly is a difference in the flavor (I think so at least, how about you?). Oh well, enough of this... Matt Goheen seismo!rochester!srs!matt
