Since the Packers and the Bears are out of the playoffs, Football Friday has sadly come to an end. No worries- we'll post some delicious Super Bowl snack ideas- but our hearts just aren't in it anymore. Whomp whomp.
So Flashback Friday it is! We'll be posting some nostalgic, family friendly recipes we love. First up is a cider recipe Doug fondly remembers... Trust me- you're going to want to hold onto this recipe in case the Polar Vortex decides to make an unexpected visit again. We're still thawing out from earlier this week; but this cider is sure helping us warm up!
Every year around this time my mother would host multiple Christmas parties. She was actually known as the Christmas Tree Lady because she would put up 30+ Christmas Trees! But I digress... One of the main things she would serve was Cinnamon Apple Cider. This drink is easy to make, affordable if you're entertaining a crowd of people, and it's guaranteed to warm you from head to toe.
Cinnamon Apple Cider:
2 quarts apple cider
5 oz Red Hots candies (or more if you like a more cinnamon taste)
1. Place all the ingredients into a large sauce pan, turn on low heat to simmer
2. Cider is done when all the candies have melted, and liquid is warm.
3. Pour into mugs, and enjoy. Commence with warming.
What are some of your favorite nostalgic recipes? We can't wait to share some with you!
Stay Cool,
