In spite of the fact that not a single
Sycamore leaf has changed color, and the temperatures aren't supposed to
dip below
70 degrees this week in sunny southern
California - it still feels like
fall.
Halloween is over and I've been indulging my
craving for the aroma of
spiced cider by
mulling whole cloves, allspice berries, and
cinnamon on my stove.
Even if it doesn't look or feel like fall, it
smells like
fall.
I though I'd share one of my favorite
spice recipes. I love this
syrup. We made it with
apple juice and had it over baked
french toast for dinner.
Mmmm...
* Instead of using ground Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cloves - mull your fruit juice with a tea infuser or tied off cheese cloth filled with whole Allspice Berries, whole Cloves, broken up Cinnamon Sticks, and Orange Zest (or simplify and use the Williams Sonoma Mulling Spices).
