Burrow Hill sour recipe

This is a little nod to my friend Julian Temperley, who produces cider, perry, cider brandy and other apple and pear drinks at Burrow Hill in Somerset with fruit from his own orchards. He’s the only person in the UK producing cider brandy under licence which is the equivalent to French calvados. It’s most certainly on a par with the great producers on the other side of the Channel. Depending on the sweetness of the apple juice, you may want to add a little sugar syrup to the mix.
