A thick and delicious syrup made from one of falls best foods - apple cider!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Gallon fresh apple cider a single variety cider with no preservative will taste the best but any cider will be good

Instructions
 

  • Pour one gallon of cider into a large, heavy bottomed pot such as an enameled cast iron Dutch oven.
  • Bring the cider to a boil over high heat.
  • When it reaches a boil reduce the heat to medium low and simmer the cider for several hours. Stir the cider about every 30 minutes for three and a half to four hours.
  • Once the cider has reduced down to about two cups you will need to begin watching it more closely.
  • At this point, you will want to stir the cider frequently as it cooks down to a thin but syrupy consistency.
  • The cider syrup is finished when it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
  • Pour into a mason jar or other lidded container and cool. Store in the fridge.

Notes

The cider syrup is great over pancakes and even better over pumpkin pancakes. It makes a great base for an apple cider vinaigrette dressing. It is amazing when transformed into Apple Cider Salted Caramel Sauce!
