Forums > Food & Drink > Help with American recipe

I have a recipe for apple butter that I would like to try, see below.

My question is about the cider vinegar.

In this recipe is it vinegar (sour condiment) made from cider?
Or is it the thick sweet apple concentrate, that can be diluted to make an apple juice type drink?

Help will be much appreciated.

4 lbs of good cooking apples (we use Granny Smith or Gravenstein)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
Sugar (about 4 cups, see cooking instructions)
Salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon

I went to Stone Market at TaiPing today.

Most of it is construction stone, including lots of marble and other raw slabs that are cut into tiles. Like a factory operation.

Many types of rock and lots of off-cuts.
May just be what the OP needs

One option we are considering. Rent out the house and travel. Go to a place and rent cheap until you get bored or decide you have had enough, then move on. This avoids the risk of getting stuck somewhere you don't like.
Do this until you get to the stage where you really need constant access to good health care. Then go home.

I think the airport mentioned here will be for heliport and small private planes of the corporate variety.
This may be linked up to the plans for the area east of Dianchi Lu and north of Guangfu Lu that was previously earmarked for new financial district.

BUT at least Shanghai Tongji know what they are doing. It just depends on whether the local gumint will listen to their advice.

The non protected thing was the issue with HuaXia Bank scandal. It was likened to a Ponzi. People lost huge amounts and it killed the market.
CMB is big enough to have the assets to cover any potential losses, and has decided that the only way to have a wealth management product that sells is to guarantee the principle. To not honor the promise would be damaging to the CMB brand and would cost them more money than swallowing the loss.
IMHO. Because of the nature of CMB's core business, and their place in the market, they can be trusted. Unlike smaller banks like HuaXia.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
