Christmas Cider And Applesauce: 2 For 1

1. 1

   Place apples in a large pot and cover with the water. Add sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves and syrup. Boil on high heat for one hour uncovered. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for additional two hours covered, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   Remove from heat and allow to cool. Remove cinnamon sticks (set aside to dry) and cloves. Use a potato masher to mash apples. Using a ladle, scoop mixture into a strainer over a large bowl. Gently press apples with a spoon to squeeze out any additional juice. Place mashed apples into a separate bowl. Continue the process until all juice and apples are separated.

3. 3

   Place cider into glass bottles with a cinnamon stick! Do the same with the applesauce.

4. 4

   I like to gift the cider packaged with a small bottle of adult beverage to complement!
