I made the 15 minute fire cider recipe. The 15 minutes must refer to pushing the blender button & straining the result. Chopping up a pineapple, peeling & chopping ginger, etc. takes longer than 15 minutes. I do like the taste of it & it has the fire cider ‘kick’. I made a double batch (end result is a pint) & froze the rest of the pineapple in double batch amounts.
The elderberry fire cider will be a project for tomorrow. I was on the road from 9 to 2 today & I am pooped!
I used the recipe from Mountain Rose Herbs that I posted last Fall, and it turned out well. I ended up with two pint jars. One is still in the pantry and the other is in the kitchen and Beau has been sipping on that if he’s feeling like he’s getting a cold. I’ve had one shot of it so far. Yee-Haw! That stuff’s got a MULE KICK to it, LOL!
Neither of us have had a cold or the flu this season. I’m not saying the Cider Fire is the reason WHY (we tend to stay out of crowds) but when we absolutely HAVE TO be in a group of people (Club Meetings, Family Gatherings, Dog Shows, etc.) we up the Vitamin C, Zinc, etc. before and after.
