Crock Pot Caramel Hot Apple Cider Recipe

As I was making this Crock Pot Caramel Hot Apple Cider recipe, I had a flashback to the past.

As I poured the apple cider into a measuring cup the aroma transported me back to my childhood.

After I measured out the amount I needed for this recipe I poured a sip into that measuring cup and slurped it down. Have you ever tried drinking from a glass measuring cup? It’s not a pretty sight.

It has been 40 years since I’ve been to New York. 

But I swear as I stood in my Florida kitchen at 1 am I could feel the chill of a wind from a long-ago New York winter as I opened the door and went out to the stoop (I call it porch now but back then it was the stoop) and picked up the ice cold gallon bottle of apple cider. 

My mother would place a gallon of apple cider out on the porch to chill for our Thanksgiving dinner.

When I was a kid apple cider was a treat that was served every Thanksgiving dinner.

We may have enjoyed it at other times during the winter but for some reason, all I remember is that it was served during our Thanksgiving dinner.

Those other memories have faded but when I inhaled the aroma of apple cider on this night it took me back to a happy holiday memory of my mom as I helped her as we prepared to sit down to our Thanksgiving dinner.

I’m not sure if my mother ever made a Hot Apple Cider recipe.

I only remember sipping on a glass of ice cold apple cider on Thanksgiving day. It’s funny how those scent memories can hit you out of the blue.
