When stored in a sterilized jar, boiled cider keeps for a year or more in the refrigerator and can be enjoyed in myriad ways. Drizzle it over pancakes, cornbread, ice cream, or oatmeal; stir it into cocktails, other beverages, vinaigrettes, and sauces; add it to a cheese plate; use it in baked goods; spoon it over sweet potatoes, winter squash, and baked beans…You get the idea. In short, use boiled cider wherever you need a solid dose of intense apple flavor.
