Wheat Free Apple Cider Reduction
Warm, tangy, and laced with the gentle heat of Ceylon cinnamon and ginger, this apple cider reduction is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste more special. It comes together with just a handful of pantry-friendly ingredients — fresh unfiltered cider, a touch of honey, a splash of vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt — all naturally free of wheat and grain-based thickeners. Instead of flour or starch to build body, the reduction relies entirely on low-and-slow simmering until the cider concentrates into a glossy, spoon-coating syrup. That patience pays off in a deeply flavored drizzle that's sweet, tart, and just a little complex. Pour it over roasted pork, swirl it into yogurt, drizzle it on a cheese board, or use it to finish a pan sauce — the possibilities are genuinely endless. It stores beautifully in a small jar, so you can make a batch and reach for it all week long.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 25–30 minutes, until the liquid has reduced to roughly 1/2 cup and coats the back of a spoon — a finger drawn through the coating should leave a clean line.
