Although things are getting less defined all the time due to “scientific advancements,” every season definitely has its culinary pleasures. My two fall favorites are hot apple cider and pomegranates. We’re just at the beginning of pomegranate season (bought my first one this weekend!), but at least up here in the increasingly cold and chilly northeastern US, I’ve been happily mulling some hot apple cider for weeks. I’m a “free-hander”… I measure out the cider by filling up the cup I’m going to drink it in, but then I just pour in the mulling spice until I think there’s enough (which means I’m probably using way too much lol). Bring to a simmer, pour through a strainer, maybe add a cinnamon stick, and you’re done. There really is nothing quite like it… hot, spicy, sweet, and tart all at the same time. Refreshing and warming, soothing and just absolutely delicious. It’s the very essence of fall, in a cup. And like fall, it’s really only for a short time, before it’s replaced by the next batch of seasonal goodies… Until then, though, I’ll need to make sure I’m stocked up on those mulling spices so that I can stay warm and satisfied… Happy shopping!
