I made this a couple of months ago and I loved it. You can see pictures of it on my site. http://www.thehesitantchef.com/cider/2016/1/11/cranberry-orange-cider Here's the recipe, let me know what you think. Next time I make this I will add in some more orange zest so it's more pronounced.
Ingredients:
6 Litres of Cranberry Juice
14 Litres of Apple Juice
3 Cans of Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate
1 Package of Nottingham Ale Yeast
Orange Syrup:
Rind of 1 large Orange Chopped and blanched
Juice of 1 Orange
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Water
Directions:
In a 6 Gallon Carboy pour in Apple Juice and Cranberry Juice. Pitch yeast and let ferment for 2 weeks.
In a medium sauce pan mix orange juice, zest, water and sugar together and bring to a simmer. Cook until zest is translucent, making sure that the syrup doesnt get too thick or caramelize. Once zest is translucent take off heat and cool to room temperature.
Rack Cider into secondary and add the orange zest syrup to cider. Ferment for another 2 weeks.
After this 2 week period its time to bottle. Rack cider into bottling bucket and add 2 cans of frozen apple juice concentrate. Mix well and bottle. Let carbonate for 2-4 days or however long it takes. To ensure you have reached your desired carbonation use a plastic pop bottle. When the cider is ready the pop bottle will be firm like pop is before you break the seal. Place into fridge immediately or pasteurize.
