How do I back sweeten my cider without renewing fermentation?

[calimainer]

I'm going to back sweeten my cider, but I don't want to restart full on fermentation. I'm worried pouring in cider or sugar will turn my bottles into bombs, because I also want to bottle carbonate the cider. What should I do to reach this end?

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

i've never made cider, but would lactose work?

Yes, lactose is not fermentable. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I did just pick up a pound of lactose the other day.

Northern brewer just did a episode on making cider and back sweeting. It's worth a look.
