When you add the apple juice to your secondary do you boil it first?

I have never added anything to secondary but hops, which are not an issue when it comes to adding bacteria etc because they are anti microbial, but can you just pour some juice in or does it need to be sanitized first?

Yes - I'm reviving an ancient thread... Anyone know the benefit of this "freezing to break the cell walls" technique? Is this supposed to release more flavor? I kinda can't imagine that the flavor itself is in the cells of the fruit, but I dunno...

Curious...
