  • 3 3/4 lbs. raw apples, pared and chopped
  • 1/2 lb. currants

  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 5 cups cider

Directions

Combine all ingredients in order given, in large heavy pan; simmer very gently 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The placing of asbestos pad under kettle prevents scorching. When cold, put into jars, cover tightly and keep in cool, dry place. This will keep six months. Enough for five, 9-inch pies.
