Do you use apple cider vinegar or plain cider?
I use Apple Cider Vinegar.
I buy it in the gallon and mix it 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar. Then I dissolve 1/4 cup of salt to 1 gallon of the cider brine.
I usually use a large 3 gallon stock pot and just turn the stove on and steam the liquid for hours.... even to the point heavy condensation is on the cold Windows. 😊
Additionally I like to treat the children to a syrupy spoonful of Cayenne, lemon, and honey.
