Québécois Mussel Chowder with Wine Pairings from Margaret Rand

'A thick bowl of chowder is spot on in winter. The New England versions, studded with corn or based on tomatoes, seem better for late summer and early autumn eating, but this recipe, from Qu.bec, can be downed when there is two feet of snow on the ground.' - Diana Henry, author of Roast Figs, Sugar Snow

serves 4 as a main course

1kg (2lb 4oz) mussels

500ml (18fl oz) dry cider

30g (1oz) butter
