Apple orchard

One thing I love about the fall is driving through the country (have several circuitous routes) and seeing the fall leaves change. My favorite destination is the apple orchard. There is no comparison between their apples versus the ones you buy in the store. Once apple season starts we enjoy apples in all sorts of ways. I am going to share a few of those over the next few posts.

The first favorite is apple cider. This one also has no comparison to store bought. In fact, we do not buy apple cider or juice at any other time of the year or from anyone else. They just can't come close to the taste of fresh pressed apples. (Remember though to never serve unpasteurized apple cider to young children or anyone with a compromised immune system.) We can polish off a half-gallon of this in about a day.

Take a little time out of your week and head to your nearest apple orchard. You can check online for the nearest one. Buy a little apple cider, sit down with a glass and enjoy. The added benefit is that you are supporting your local economy.
