\"appleCider\"I know, I know! \u00a0Christmas is 274 days away! \u00a0But today was so rainy, cold, and gloomy that it did not feel like spring at all! \u00a0Instead it felt like a cold November day! \u00a0So the baby and I trudged down to the store and picked up one of the few Apple Cider jugs and simmered us up some sweet Christmas Cider. \u00a0This stuff is simple; but good!<\/p>\n

I apologize for my blurry pictures. It’s all consumed, so I can not take more! I will simply have to make it again \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"appleCider_cinnamonStick\"Something about it reminds me of days spent outside raking leaves, tobogganing, or playing out in the cold (As in rotten spring days like today was!). \u00a0Then coming inside to nice hot apple cider. \u00a0Mind you, I grew up with hot Apple Juice & sprinkled cinnamon, so this would be the decadent version! haha<\/p>\n

Christmas Cider<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 2 quarts apple cider<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • 3 3″ cinnamon sticks<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    1. Heat cider to boiling, lower heat.\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Add remaining ingredients, simmer 15 minutes.<\/li>\n
    3. Strain and serve. (or leave them in your cup, like I did)<\/li>\n
    4. The recipe states it serves 16; I would judge on modern cup sizes that it serves more like 10.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      TIP: \u00a0Use Apple Juice when Apple Cider is not in season. Or to avoid a Grocery store trip.<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n
