Steps:
- Combine the cider, sugar, apple, allspice berries, peppercorns and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring once, until the apple starts to fall apart and the liquid is syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add the cranberries and cook, stirring and skimming the foam off the top until the berries burst, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until almost smooth.
- Strain through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids; smooth the top. Let cool 30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
MAST HAVE
Mixing ketchup and mustard doesn't seem all that strange?unless you're also combining them with Jägermeister. Bartenders at Tur 7 in Vienna liked the combo, so they added this not-so-typical savory cocktail to the menu. It's best served to your most adventurous friends!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh peaches and apricots. This will ensure that your cider has the best possible flavor.
- Use a clean, sanitized fermenting vessel. This will help to prevent contamination and ensure that your cider ferments properly.
- Maintain a consistent fermentation temperature. The ideal temperature for fermenting hard cider is between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
- Be patient. Hard cider takes time to ferment, so don't expect to be able to drink it right away. Give it at least 4-6 weeks to ferment, and then let it age for an additional 2-3 months for the best flavor.
