homemade apple cider.

What could be better than homemade apple cider this time of year?? For the past few years, my dad and I have gotten together to make some delicious cider and I wanted to share our recipe with you! 

Materials needed: 

4 lbs of apples 

Apple corer 

Knife 

Blender 

Cheesecloth 

Saucepan 

Thermometer 

Steps: 

1. Wash apples. Core/cut into wedges 

2. Purée apples in batches until they resemble fine pulp 

{allow to sit together for 30 minutes}

3. Put the pulp in the cheesecloth {section cheesecloth into smaller pieces so it will go further} and squeeze out juice. 

4. Briefly heat to 160*. {do not overheat} 

***this pasteurizes the cider 

5. Serve immediately or store in a clean glass jar 

{we always drink it right away!} 

You can also add caramel sauce for a yummy add in! 

I hope you enjoy as much as I do! I love this time of year!
