Our national hero, Johnny Appleseed, wasn't planting seeds so children could have their healthy "apple a day" - he was planting apples for cider, the most important ingredient for home grown alcohol in those days. Hard cider is best made from bitter and tart apples, with raisins and molasses added for yeast bacteria and sugar. <BR/><BR/>I know.
