K guys, it's that time of year. I've started to work on a spiced apple-cider recipe, and so far so good. The point of this cider is supposed to me more of a dessert dish on its own, of course you could drink it whenever (I do...), but I wanted to make something that was like liquid apple pie. Anyway, here goes:

-3 cups apple cider (store bought Ziegler's or farm bought, if you have)
-1 tsp ground cinnamon (thinking about replacing these ground ingredients with whole ones to keep the grittiness out)
-about 6-8 allspice things
- A hefty dash of nutmeg and cloves
-3-5 tablespoons of dark maple syrup (must not be Aunt Jemima type corn-syrup, has to be real)
-1.5 tbs of butter

Throw everything but .5 tbs of butter in a pot and let it heat for about a half hour. Try not to boil it too hard. Cut the butter into 2 halves.

3 cups of this stuff should equal about 2 mugs. Top each mug with a pat of butter, wait till the butter melts. If you want, you can stir it in, but I like to drink as is. Enjoy!

I would also presume you could put some ackahawl in there too, none for me though, thanks lol.

Dutch Oven cooking is some of the best. Just spent the weekend with friends in their backyard, each family providing a course to the meal. On the menu was Bacon & Cheese Meatloaf, Bacon & Onion Potatoes, and Caramel Apple "dump cake" for dessert. All cooked outdoors in dutch ovens of course.
