I thought this was delicious. I never change the recipe when I plan on rating it. If you change it, then you shouldn't rate it because you then are not rating the recipe that was written and do a disservice to anyone else wanting to know how it turned out, which was perfect, just the way it was written. Thanks SilentCricket. Sorry for the run-on sentence. -
I omitted the lemon juice and added a package of cinnamon red hots to this cider mix. Instead of bringing it to a boil, I warmed in my crockpot on high until well heated, then reduced the heat to low to maintain the heat. The house smelled lovely, and the cider had a great flavor. -
Very good in October, when the winds start to blow. Definitely better without the sugar and an extra cinnamon stick. Add a few extra cloves and keep a pot simmering all morning for a nice smell all day.

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.)
Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
