\"\"<\/a> Growing up we had cider a good bit in the fall because my mom liked it.\u00a0 She always served it warm though and I just thought it was okay.\u00a0 Much like hot chocolate and grape juice, it dried my throat out causing me to be more thirsty than I was to begin with.\u00a0 Because of that, I was never on the big cider train because getting thirsty while actually drinking a beverage isn’t all that much of a good time.<\/p>\n

Several years ago we were at a small town fall festival and it was hot.\u00a0 Like sun blazing, unseasonably hot and there was a booth that was serving cold cider.\u00a0 I got a cup and it was the best thing I’ve ever tasted.<\/p>\n

Cold cider is amazing!<\/p>\n

Who knew?!<\/p>\n

Everyone is so busy serving up hot mulled cider that it just didn’t occur to me to have it cold.\u00a0 After that sip though, I could not get enough and have been purchasing cider in the fall ever since.<\/p>\n

It has become a staple here at the HQ and truth be told, I use it up so quickly that I don’t even get a chance to drink it!\u00a0 Cider is so useful in cooking and baking that once you start, you’ll wonder why you never used it before!<\/p>\n

Because it’s so versatile, this is why I love having it on hand, it can go in sweet dishes and it can be used in savory dishes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve made pancakes<\/a> with cider which are super yummy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I use it for brining<\/a> a lot!\u00a0 It works with turkey, chicken, and especially pork!<\/p>\n

Cider can be used to make cornbread or muffins.\u00a0 It can be used to make quick breads and can even be added to oats.<\/p>\n

You can also use it to make fall inspired mixed drinks!<\/p>\n

Cider is really handy to have around and because of all of its potential uses, I constantly have some in my fridge.<\/p>\n

Do you like cider?\u00a0 Have you used it in cooking before?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
