Ingredients
- Williams pears2 Kg
- Water1.5 L
- Granulated sugar100 g
- Dry yeast1 teaspoon
Procedure
0. Wash the pears thoroughly and cut them into pieces (including the peel, but remove any damaged parts or cores). Blend the pears until pureed. You can also use a juicer to extract the juice directly.
1. If you blended the pears, pour the puree through cheesecloth or a fine sieve to extract the juice. Squeeze well to extract as much liquid as possible.
2. Pour the pear juice into a large container (a fermenter or a large pitcher). Add the water, sugar (if necessary), and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
3. Dissolve the yeast in a small amount of warm water and let it activate for about 10 minutes. Pour the activated yeast into the pear juice and mix well.
4. Cover the container with a clean cloth or use a lid with an airlock to prevent contamination. Let it ferment at room temperature (18-22°C) for 7-10 days. During this time, you'll notice the yeast producing carbon dioxide bubbles.
5. Strain the cider to remove any fruit residue and transfer it to glass bottles with airtight caps. If you want a slightly sparkling cider, add 1 teaspoon of sugar per liter of cider before bottling.
6. Leave the bottles at room temperature for another 3-5 days, then transfer them to the refrigerator to stop fermentation.
7. Once ready, store the cider in the refrigerator and consume it within 1-2 months.
8. For a more complex aroma, you can add spices like cinnamon or cloves during fermentation. Use ripe, sweet pears for the best results. This homemade cider will be natural, slightly alcoholic (about 4-6%), and perfect enjoyed chilled!
