Apple Cider Syrup

This recipe is being posted to go along with my Mincemeat With Dried Fruit, which calls for 1/4 cup of Apple Cider Syrup. Such syrups can be purchased now, but when I was originally making my mincemeat recipe, I made my own, & still do. This syrup can be used like an syrup, over pancakes, ice cream, pound cake, or spoon several tablespoons of it over apple pie filling before baking! Preparation time is approximate & DOES NOT INCLUDE time for syrup to cool to room temperature.
