Looks like this is THE place to ask. Thirty years ago, hubby and I rented from an extraordinary couple on a farm here in PA. They had a large wooden barrel full of homemade applejack. Wonderful stuff, but never got the recipe. Anyone have a simple country recipe for applejack?
Thanks

Start off with some fresh squeezed apple juice. If you don’t have an apple orchard near by that sells fresh squeezed juice then try some Musselman’s Apple Cider. I get mine from the local WalMart at %4.48 per gal. It is just apple juice with some citric acid added. You will be making Hard Apple Cider by adding yeast and letting it ferment to Hard Cider. Applejack is made by a method of freeze distillation of hard Cider. Freeze the Hard Cider and remove the Ice (water) - the liquid left behind will be much stronger with alcohol - This method is called Jacking.
