Reviews
The house smelled wonderful for two days. Only two family members drank it & they did love it, but we all loved the aroma. Will definitely make again.
Excellent! I have made spiced cider for years, but never thought about adding brown sugar, an orange or clove studded apple. I did throw in a couple cinnamon sticks and a tablespoon of premixed mulling spuces
I made this cider, sans rum, for my nieces & my sister for New Years Eve a few years ago. It was easy to make and it was a big hit with the girls. So big that years later, one of my nieces asked for the recipe! I had lost track of it, but glad I found it tonight: printed off and tucked in a cookbook. Happy to give it a five-star review!
