To Keep Cider Sweet

No. 1. A handful of hops boiled with a little treacle or honey and added to the acetified cider will assist in keeping it sweet.

No. 2. For each barrel allow eight kitchen table spoonfuls of white mustard seed. Pour in with the cider. No. 3. If made after freezing time cider may be kept sweet (if it is free from water) by being kept in a temperature just above freezing point. It may be boiled down one-fourth after making, which will be an additional safeguard against any change in it.
