We love fresh apple cider in the fall. I get it directly from the Amish a few hours after its pressed or straight from the orchard.

Hot or cold, there's nothing like a cup of fresh apple cider. It just screams fall.

In addition to drinking it, I also use it to make an apple cinnamon syrup recipe. This is a delicious recipe that starts with apple cider instead of apple juice for a rich syrup that has depth and tastes amazing thanks to the spiced apple cider.

How Do I Thicken Fruit Syrup?

Since this is a tested apple syrup recipe canning, I do not add anything to do it. You can, however, boil it longer to reduce more water.

Once you have canned it and after you open it, then you can add cornstarch or arrowroot powder to thicken your apple cider syrup recipe.

You can also heat it to remove more water and reduce it that way.

Again, I don't recommend altering the recipe because it's a safe and trusted canning recipe.

If you plant to freeze the apple cinnamon syrup recipe, then you can use cornstarch to thicken it when you cook it.
