Patrol Dinner Cider

by Richard White II November 25, 2019

This is great for cold camping nights.

Ingredients
8 Cups of Apple Cider
1 large apple
Large handful of raisins
1 can of pears
1 can of peaches (or 1 or more cans of fruit cocktail)
Cinnamon, a dash or two

Instruction

Add cider to a large pot
Add liquid from canned fruit
Chop canned fruit into small pieces
Add to cider
Core apple and chop into very small pieces, about the size of raisins.
Add chopped apple and raisins to cider.
Add a dash or two of cinnamon.
Heat just short of boiling over a low gentle fire.
Simmer until fruit is soft, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching and sticking.
Use a ladle to serve, adding some fruit to each cup.

NOTES: Apples can be prepared at home. Seal in plastic bag and carry to campout, ready for cider. Squeeze out as much air as possible to slow discoloration (you can also squeeze some fresh lemon juice into the bag). Refrigerate to keep fresh. You can also substitute other fruits, or use more or less as desired.

Serves an entire patrol
