• The apple syrup is ready when it coats the back of a spoon but still drips off like honey.
• Pour the apple syrup into a clean jam jar. Apple syrup keeps for quite a long time. Tips: If the apple syrup has cooked for too long it may go hard in the jar. If this happens, you'll simply have to put it in the microwave for a minute before using, so it'll turn runny again. Therefore, it's probably best to keep it in a container that can go in the microwave if needed. Soak your saucepan in hot tap water and the gloopy syrup residue will simply dissolve. No need to scrub!
