Apple Pie for sippin

[sse]

Puffer, I think I could send ya some, but the Hazmat, might be a bit steep.

In a few weeks I'll be "wintering" and we'll see how much of the residue I can get some other unsuspecting buckskinners to swaller.  If they are sufficiently pre-pickled through other means, they might not know what hit 'em...

Regards, sse

Thet thayer wuz "Wintering ought 06".  This hiyear is for "Wintering ought 08".

Here we are with the "Apple Pie" just put inta "th'oven"...



Hiyear we got the "Apple Pie" nicely "baked" and such and put back inta "th'evercleeyear" bottle and ready to tempt them buckskinners up in the blockhouse, summa whom learned the law of gravity the old fashioned way!  (as the night wore on)

here's my concoction...
 1 fifth of everclear
 1 fifth of 151 rum
 1 fifth of brandy(the real stuff, not the fruit kind!)
 14 cups brown sugar
 2 cinnamon sticks
 1 gallon of apple cider/juice
mix all this in a bucket...let it age exactly 37 min-don't smoke while testing.
...this was handed down and refined over 20yrs ago from some old 'skinners that took me under their wing....
 It's actually much better if you let it age about a month or so...the longer is sits, the better it is....have fun!!

You're a brave soul aren't you? I'm a simple man. Apple cider and 1/2 gill Mount Gay rum warmed in the microwave.

Mitch, that is a sizeable quantity!  What do choose to mix it in?  A crock?

"Gill (measurement)

Imperial unit of volume for liquid measure, equal to one-quarter of a pint or five fluid ounces (0.142 litre), traditionally used in selling alcoholic drinks.

In southern England it is also called a noggin, but in northern England the large noggin is used, which is two gills. "

Ah ha!

we used to use a 5gal paint bucket "back in the day"!!LOL....and then pour it into proper bottles or jugs or kegs or just pour it in your mouth!!(don't smoke!!)....I imagine it could be downsized, but if you make this much, you'll have more to share!!

I still have a few food grade buckets around from the days of homebrewing, would work handily.  I gotta try that recipe, but I'm plum outta Everclear.  Spose I could swing down to Indiana sometime, closest place to get it.  Online mailorder might work, too, and darn near legal!

[Mitch]

well, you could use 100proof vodka or moonshine-yep, tried it both ways...I've seen some folks do might strange things after only "just a cup"...have also used cherry juice mixed in with the apple and also peach juice....all are good..
 As an aside, got some friends in Texas that make what they call "peach slobber"-big ol'can of peaches in heavy syrup, a fifth of everclear or 'shine...pour in a bucket, mix it with a chunk of firewood or an axe handle until it's "slobbery"....it'll take the enamel right off your teeth!!

Instead of Everclear?  What kind of boozer do you take me for...?  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!  And to pull that over on correctly attired, inebriated brothers...?  FOR SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!   :lol:  

[Mitch]

I hang my head in shame and disgust with me.....LOL....the moonshine mix ain't too bad....I remember being asked (by the 'shiner)-"you want the clear or the yella?"-I asks" what's the difference?"......he looks at me like I'm crazy as coot and says"Hmmph, the COLOR!!"

[sse]

That's one thing I've never had a chance to swalla, the home made stuff.  One day.........

[Mitch]

just take a trip to eastern Oklahoma-it'll find you!!

[sse]

I'll hafta try a noggin of that.
