This year I decided to make something that I have not had in years, hot apple cider! It was a big hit with all the family. There are many ways to make this, and any way you decide, it will always come out great. Here is how I made it with pictures. I will have the entire ingredients and instructions at the end. Leave me a message if you have tried it yourself.
There is no need to measure, my kind of cooking! For 1 gallon of apple cider I use about 10 sticks of cinnamon, two pieces of ginger, one red delicious apple and lots of cloves. Not pictured is a little sugar if the cider is too tart, but always taste it first, it usually does not take more than an 1/8 cup.
Chop the ginger.
Heat the sticks of cinnamon, low heat, then add pieces of ginger.
Slice the apples, 8-10 slices.
Insert cloves into the apple slices.
Add apples to the heated pan.
Pour in the cider.
Heat on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Bring to a boil and let boil for about 1 minute only, turn heat on low and let simmer for about 1/2 hour.
Cider will turn clear and become very aromatic. When you smell the cinnamon, ginger and cloves, it can be served. The longer it sits, the better it will taste.
