HARD (FACTS ABOUT) CIDER!

    HARD (FACTS ABOUT) CIDER!

     November 18th is "National Apple

Cider Day!" Apple Cider has been around

for a long, long time. The Celts in Britain

made it from crab apples as early as

3,000BC! Acidic Cider apples came with

the Norman invasion on England in 1066.

When a climate change produced colder

than usual seasons in Western Europe

between the 14th and 19th centuries grapes

didn't do very well but apples did. So cider

became the favorite beverage. These days

cider shows up everywhere around

October and we usually buy a few

quarts. Lately my wife has discovered

that apple cider poured over a venison

(or any other kind of) roast makes for

a delicious meal. There's another

thing that lures us to cider. That's

when they use it to make apple cider

donuts! Hope you'll enjoy some

cider this season and that all your

NEWS is good.
