Our little dairy sits in a pretty cold part of America! In fact, it’s so cold here I only agreed to marry my farmer hubby after he promised me that he would build me a house which would have a fireplace! Guess what? I have two fireplaces in my house. He is an overachiever! This year it hasn’t been as cold as it normally is. So I’ve put off making Slow Cooker Apple Cider. The other day I decided it was time to make cider, even though it’s not too terribly cold outside yet! Thanks to my friend Kristy for sharing her recipe with me! (Aren’t friends the best?)
I love wandering around my house smelling scrumptious apple cider simmering away in the slow cooker. I also love sitting by my fireplaces and sipping on some of that hot apple cider! It just seems like the right thing to do.
Slow cooker apple cider is a cinch to make. Especially since it only contains two ingredients. And you know if it has “slow cooker” in the title it’s going to be quick and easy. The only drawback to making this belly warming drink is that I end up with cider mugs all over my kitchen. I’m a bit of a clean freak so I have to remind myself to deal with it! It’s worth it though when my boys all gather around the table and sip cider and reminisce about the past! It makes the mess all worth it!
Go throw a few, like two, ingredients in your slow cooker and warm your family up. Don’t forget to overlook the messy mugs and enjoy the smell of the cider wafting through the house!
By the way, I hope your husband is an overachiever and has provided two fireplaces to nestle up to with your cider!
