If I wanted my cider to stay cloudy, too look more like apple cider, would bringing it to a boil for a moment set the pectin and accomplish this goal?
 
Boiling would make it taste different ("cooked").
If you don't use pectic enzyme or some other clarifying agent, you will get pectin haze like the original cider. Once you bottle it that will settle and need to be shaken before you open one. I've seen commercial farmhouse styles (scrumpy) like that, where it says on the can to shake before opening.
 
I’ve had batches of cider that cleared and some even after gelatin fining and 30 degrees won’t make them clear. I have a current batch that’s ready to keg and I’ll report back when carbed.
 
I’m going to be kegging this batch, so it would be hard to shake the keg every time lol.

I was actually going for something similar to JK
