@ Sarah T, Apple cider in North America refers to the pre-ferment for the alcoholic beverage. To make a suitable replacement, take 2 apples, slice and simmer in about 500 - 700 ml of water, until soft. (approx 15 minutes on med. heat) strain and press apples and water through a fine wire mesh sieve, then strain again through a cheesecloth. Refrigerate. It should be a caramel color To make a spiced cider beverage, simmer the above mixture with a mulled spice mix

This ketchup is absolutely delicious, especially when served with Tortiere, which I prepared to bring Christmas Day. I didn't have Cardamom, so used ground cumin instead. I would increase, slightly, the amount of spice, so it's just a slightly larger hint of spice. The Christmas Dinner guests loved it and were sorry there wasn't much left over to have the next day with leftovers.
