Cousin Adam's Apple Pie
via my cousin Adam
INGREDIENTS:
1 bottle of Everclear
1 gallon of Apple Juice
1 gallon of Apple Cider
12 Cinnamon Sticks
6 Quart Mason Jars
DIRECTIONS:
Boil Apple Juice, Apple Cider, & 12 Cinnamon Sticks in a large pot for 45 minutes. Strain out cinnamon sticks. Add 4-6 shots of Everclear (depending on the potency you would like) per quart jar & add the boiled liquid, divided equally amongst each jar. Cap & lid jars, store at room temp or cooler, & enjoy! (pictured above is a double batch)
UPDATE:
So, I posted this, before I actually attempted making it. Now that I've made a batch, I've learned a few things...
I used pint mason jars, not quart jars, as the recipe above, and divided 1 bottle of Everclear equally (about 3 shots each) among 7 pint mason jars. It made for a potent, but amazing batch. Also, only 9 cinnamon sticks came in the package I bought, so I used 9, instead of the 12 the recipe calls for. (I don't think it made any difference in the end result) Once I filled up the 7 jars, I realized I had tons of the apple juice/cider liquid left. So, I ran back to the store & picked up a 2nd bottle of Everclear. I repeated the same process, dividing the 2nd bottle of Everclear equally amongst the new set of 7 mason jars. I ended up w/ 14 pint jars of goodness!

salty & sweet
This made for some fab & relatively easy Christmas presents. I made a couple batches & then filled up mason jars w/ the mix, tied 'em up w/ a few ribbons, & done!
White Chocolate Snack Mix
• 2 cups white chocolate chips, melted
• 1 cup mini twist pretzels
• 3 1/2 cups cereal: Cheerios, Chex, or similar
• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup salted peanuts
• 1 1/2 cups M&M's
• 1 cup raisins
DIRECTIONS: Melt white chocolate chips in large bowl. (I do so in the microwave in 30 sec. increments, stirring in between each 30 interval. Note that it's easy to scorch chocolate in the microwave, if you put it in for too long &/or forget to stir!) Add all other ingredients, stirring to coat. Once all of pieces are coated, lay them out on sheets of wax paper. Once dry, break up & store in an air tight container
NOTE: Don't be afraid of adding &/or subtracting other cereals, candy, or nuts. This is one recipe you can't really mess up!
