Semi sweet cider.

[Symons3rd]

Has anyone used watercored apples to make a semi sweet cider?https://elizapples.com/2016/08/07/water-core-an-argument-for-southern-hard-cider/

Suddenly I have a need to find some of these.

An interesting read. But I imagine a cider mill would take steps to prevent that (if they sell apples).

I own a small apple orchard. I get a few watercorded apples, and could encourage there production if I wished.

I was at Ciderday at Cornell last month. Some grad students where working with these apples. They have a sweetness and some of it may be nonfermenable. They were encouraging them for iced cider style dessert cider.

How would you encourage their production?

2 things come to mind:

You could always add sorbitol or any other non-fermentable sweetener to your cider.

Sorbitol is a laxative. You may not want to drink a bunch of it.
