I had a book which suggests that you sugar to taste
(or in your case, stop fermentation early), bottle,
and then pasturize when you have desired carbonation.
I will be trying this with my present batch. i'll
share the results.
BTW, the pasturization method is to place the bottles covered
in water in a large kettle, and bring to about 170F. Hold for
20 Min or so, then cool slowly.
the only problem i have with this is that i will have to waste
several bottles while checking carbonation. I am planning on using
a method i'm stealing from a soda-pop recipe. Put 1 l. of cider
in a plastic soda-pop bottle. When the pop bottle feels about
as tight as it did when it had soda... pasturize.

p.s. sorry about the mixed use of "soda" and "pop". I just
moved to "pop" country from "soda" country, and i'm a bit
confused ;-)
