This recipe is in the Macbeth Family Cookbook, coming from a good friend of mine who makes it when I host my cookie exchange party. I was in charge of bringing a beverage to our RS Christmas Social this past Sunday and decided to make this delicious drink. People went wild over it. It might have something to do with the fact that I accidentally doubled the caramel amounts and then purposely decided not to make further adjustments. It is delicious either way. I have quadrupled this recipe for you, because the small amount it makes from the cookbook recipe is not nearly enough to enjoy properly. This stuff is amazing. Try it.
Caramel Apple Cider
In a saucepan, while stirring, heat over medium heat until it boils:
1 c cream
1 c brown sugar
Add to mixture and heat until it starts to steam:
2 c water
3 quarts apple juice or cider
dash of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick
Serve warm; delicious with a dollop of whipped cream and a swirl of caramel sauce on top.
If you, too, are living on the wild side and would like to enjoy my happy mistake, increase your cream and brown sugar to 2 cups, and the water to 4 cups.
