There's no recipe. You just press the apples, put the cider in jars. Cover with cheesecloth. Put in cool place out of the sun. Wait several weeks. Once it's got a mother, take off the cheesecloth, put on a non-reactive cap and store in a cool, dark place.

You don't get mold? My friend tried it with and without apples (once juicing) and there was a mold problem. She says it took months to ferment which is why I haven't made any yet

There was a small amount of mold on a couple of mothers in the very first batch I made. I washed the mothers off and they were fine. I've not had a problem with mold since, but I used buttercloth until this time, when I used 1/2 buttercloth and 1/2 cheesecloth. Have not checked the jars. Had thought to do it today, but alas, too tired....
