Welcome Autumn

Summer has come and gone and Fashion Week is now a memory.  
As a native New Yorker, Autumn is my favorite season and I welcome it with open arms.  We send away the sticky days of summer, experience sunny days with cool breezes.
Here to help welcome Autumn is one of my favorites, Frank Sinatra.
What is your favorite season?

Autumn Hot Apple Cider Recipe

Nothing beats a cup of hot apple cider on a chilly fall day.  With the weather changing, thought I'd share a recipe for one of my favorite drinks.  This recipe serves 8.

Ingredients:

• 1 (64 fluid ounce) bottle apple cider
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 1 teaspoon whole allspice
• 1 teaspoon whole cloves
• 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions:

In a slow cooker, combine apple cider and cinnamon sticks. Wrap allspice and cloves in a small piece of cheesecloth, and add to pot. Stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and keep warm.
