Apple Cider Recipe
Two things made me think of this recipe for today. One was Cindy’s awesome post on Slow Cooker Freezer Meals and the second thing was that it’s been chilly here in Ohio. We had a windchill of 35 yesterday, too cold too soon for me!
With today’s recipe, all the ingredients go in your slow cooker then let it simmer for a few hours. The flavors of the spices come out and it’s delicious. This tasty recipe also creates a wonderful aroma of cinnamon, ginger and cloves in your kitchen.
When serving, you can add cinnamon sticks or a fresh orange rind to the glass but it’s not necessary.
