Happy Fall!

Happy Saturday!

It's a beautiful day here in Ohio. It's a little chilly outside but the sun is shining and the leaves are just starting to change colors. Don't you love this time of year? Apple Cider, Hay Rides, Pumpkins...

This is my favorite time of year.

I thought I would share my recipe for Hot Cider. It makes the whole house smell like fall.

Hot Spiced Cider

8 cups apple cider

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

6 inches cinnamon stick

1 tsp whole allspice

1 tsp whole cloves

8 thin orange slices (optional)

In a large saucepan combine apple cider and brown sugar. 

For spice bag, place cinnamon, allspice and cloves in a double thickness of cheesecloth and tie with string. Add spice bag to cider mixture.

Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer at least 10 minutes. 

Remove and discard spice bag. 

Serve cider in mugs with orange slices, if desired.

Makes about 8 servings.

So, this week's card for My Favorite Thing's sketch is my first fall card this year.

I used ALM Sweetest Pumpkin in the Patch. 

Here is the MFT sketch I used:

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and God Bless...
