Mulled cider with sweet roasted applesMy favourite Christmas drink - popular with everyone. Use a good quality dry cider not a modern ‘white’ cider or draught cider which can be too strongMakes 12-14 servings Ingredients 1 litre premium English cider 250ml Somerset cider brandy or calvados 1.5 litres cloudy English apple juice A thinly pared strip of lemon rind 2 sticks of cinnamon 8 cloves For the roasted apples 10-12 small Cox’s apples About 75g light muscovado sugar 100ml premium English cider Method Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Wash and core the apples and score them around their middles. Put them in a baking dish and stuff the centre of each with the sugar. (It’s easiest to do this with the handle of a spoon or fork). Splash over the cider and roast in the oven until soft and beginning to split (45-50 minutes). Meanwhile put the cider, cider brandy or calvados, and apple juice in a large pan, together with the lemon zest, cinnamon and cloves. Heat through gently then leave over a very low heat until the apples are cooked without allowing the mixture to boil. When the apples are ready, tip them and their juices into the mulled cider. Taste, adding a little extra sugar if you think it needs it. Serve straight from the pan into heat resistant glasses or cups or transfer to a warmed bowl. Back to the recipe page |
