Welcome November

 

Hello Everyone.... 

I just changed my header and I'm just tickled pink (er... orange) with it. I bought this old dilapadated table (it had been sitting in someones barn for years) and I knew I wanted to use it outdoors and use it for this very purpose. The leaves are really flying here and it's such a beautiful fall day so today....I did it. And I photographed it in my side front yard to boot. As I cut branches from a tree and a bush I could just hear them say....'I'm going to be in a blog photo so that my beauty will last forever in photos'. It brought a smile to my face just 'listening' to them. My dear neighbor Michelle asked where I got the photo from (she actually thought it was from a magazine) and I was THRILLED that she thought it looked that professional. I told her I'd buy her lunch tomorrow when we go to Homegoods for that sweet comment. Yes I know, I know... I broke all the photography rules with the sun streaming through .....but you know I love it anyway!!

 

 

Now on to the delicious stuff 

It's been almost a year since I first started my blog and I thought I'd do a reprise of my first post. Hope you enjoy it.
 

 

Warm Caramel Creme Apple Punch

 

 

The Recipe is from my friend Paula M.
It’s Delicious and So Easy to make. 

 

  

 

It’s made with Apple Juice or Cider, Brown Sugar, Water,

Cinnamon Sticks & Cream





Pour the apple juice into a pan. Add the

sugar, cinnamon sticks 

and  water and  heat it up.

After its heated you add the cream and pour it into cups

Top it off with whipped cream and a mixture of Cinnamon and Sugar. YUM!

Put a cinnamon stick in each cup for a garnish if you'd like
 ( I thought it made it look and taste even better) 

Don't these photos make you want to dive into the billowy mounds of Whipped Cream? This is heaven in a cup!!!


 

Here is the recipe. ENJOY!

 

 

Warm Caramel Creme Apple Punch

1- 96 oz. bottle Apple Juice or Cider

2 cups water

1 cup brown sugar firmly packed

2 cinnamon sticks broken in half (making 4 pieces)

1 cup cream 

Garnish:

2 cups of sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping

1 cup sugar mixed well with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon sticks (optional)

Put apple juice, water, brown sugar and cinnamon sticks in a large kettle and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Let sit for a few minutes. Pour in cream and stir. (if it’s too hot it will curdle so be careful.) Pour into individual cups. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top. Add a cinnamon stick as an extra garnish if desired. Makes about twelve - fourteen 8 ounce servings.

Note: I often put the warm punch into a crockpot to keep it warm.

 

This is a GREAT recipe and I hope you try

 it soon!!!!
