Every year when the leaves begin to change and pumpkin spice everything hits the store, I get swept up in the changing seasons and buy a jug of apple cider. I say to myself, “I’ll drink mulled cider by the fire whilst wearing the cutest chunky knit sweater,” or “The kids will sip warm apple cider when they get inside from a rousing game of leaf pile jumping.” Then, three weeks later reality sets in when I find the jug of apple cider in the back of the fridge. It’s usually past the expiration date and my only option is to throw it out.
This year, I tried something different. I bought the cider, but I planned how to use it–and guess what? I didn’t have any moldy cider sitting in the back of my fridge! So if you’re like old me, you probably have half a jug of apple cider sitting in your fridge. I’ve rounded up a few great recipes to help you use it up! Enjoy!
