Caramel Apple Cider 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
6 c. fresh apple cider
whipped cream for serving - optional
-------------------------------------------
Place the cream and sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in cinnamon and cider. Heat through until cider begins to steam. Serve hot with a dollop of whipped cream. (You could probably double or triple the batch and keep warm in a slow cooker on low/warm for a party).
Now for the project. This cute little pumpkin light was made by my dad ~ he is the best at woodworking and makes the most amazing things! Excuse my directions ~ I'm sure they aren't the best, but hopefully you will get the idea.
Jack-O-Lantern JarSupplies:
Lamp Light Kit (includes cord, socket w/ spring clip, switch, and bulb)
Metal cutting shears (and gloves to protect your hands!)
Quart canning jar with lid (seal & ring)
Orange spray paint (suitable for glass)
Black paint (suitable for glass)
Small craft paint brush
Raffia
Spray the inside of the canning jar with the orange spray paint. Allow to dry completely. Using the black paint & brush, paint a jack-o-lantern face on the outside of the jar. Allow to dry completely. Using the metal shears, cut a hole the size of a quarter in the seal for the lid. Make sure to wear safety gloves so you don't cut you hands on the metal! Place the seal on the jar and secure with the ring. Tie a raffia bow around the ring (you can secure this with hot glue if you wish). Place the socket w/ spring clip into the hole in the lid. The spring clip will keep it on the lid. Plug in and turn on! You're finished!
