Apple Cinnamon Syrup

We go through a lot of apples in our house. I have been making lots of apple/carrot juice lately. Since I hate to waste anything, I usually make apple cider vinegar with the cores. I have several containers so I tried making apple cinnamon syrup and it came out wonderful. I have already made it 3 times and we are almost done with the 2nd batch.  It is very easy to make. 


Take the cores and put them in a pot with water covering them. Then boil for 30 minutes, making sure water is covering them the whole time. Then strain and measure the liquid. Discard the cores. I usually end up with about 2 cups of liquid. I add 1 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. I boil it down until it gets the consistency that I like. We have used it on waffles, pancakes, steal cut oats and vanilla ice cream. Hubby said it tastes like apple pie. 



What do you do with your apple cores?

    Ooh, that's a fantastic idea! I never thought of that before. I made a batch of apple cider vinegar last year, but I'm going to have to do this next time. Thanks for the great idea!!!

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild.

The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
