Cider is traditionally a fall undertaking. Once the cider is hard, it can be distilled to separate the alcohol from the water. But it was easier for our foremothers to leave the barrel in the barn or wood shed until it froze, and tap a hole into the unfrozen pocket of high alcohol content in the middle.
