I have taken it upon myself to begin writing blog posts about our incredible cider operation and include recipes using our cider that I thought you'd enjoy. Our husbands wouldn't be caught dead writing a blog, so the women of Sheffield Cider have taken it upon themselves to begin this- so you could get a bird's eye perspective of our "down on the farm" events with our cider business. Hopefully I can make this entertaining, as well as informative.
About this time every year when the weather starts to change and the leaves are falling, you begin indulging in thoughts of hay rides, fresh juicy apples picked right off the tree, hot spiced cider, carved pumpkins...a Martha Stewart kind of scene, right? Livin' out in the country has it's distinct advantages with affording you moments to enjoy the beauty around you and the quiet peaceful sounds that is so part of the country life.
We started our cider business some eight years ago when we began our venture growing specialized heirloom apples- with a penchant for developing sparkling cider. It has been quite an adventure tweaking the science of the thing to come up with the right recipes for this cider. I have a new-found appreciation and respect for what our husbands do because it has been exhausting work, but the final product is amazing! We've included some pictures for you of a cider squeezing so you can get an idea of what it's like here.
I also want to include a kick off recipe, which will be forth-coming, because I'm waiting on our Jonagold apples to be ready. I've always had a hankerin' to make fresh baked Apple Dumplings using our cider with a hot glaze over the top...yum! I'm thinking you'll enjoy it! I will be getting back to you with a recipe in a few days!
