Toasty Rum Raisin Cider Recipe

Toasty Rum Raisin Cider

From notyourmomma 16 years ago

Adapted from the Ski Country cookbook, excerpt in St. Pete Times. Hard to beat warm buttered fruity rum cider.

In a sauce pan heat the butter over medium heat.
Add sugar.
Cook until the sugar dissolves and begins to carmelize about five minutes.
Tie up the cloves, lemon peel and cinnamon sticks in a bit of cheesecloth.
Add cider to saucepan along with the bag of spices.
Add honey and raisins to saucepan.
Heat until just below the simmering point...when you see whisps of steam, you are good.
Raisins will plump up too.
Remove the spice bag carefully. You don't want to drink a clove, ugh!
Off heat, add the spiced rum, and ladle into heat proof cups.
add cinnamon stir stick and float an apple slice on top.
Turn on the Christmas carols (I recommend Aaron Neville's or Chris Issaac's Christmas cd) and stare at the twinkling lights on your pretty tree. Relax and have a Merry Christmas.
