A lot of Moosewood's stuff is pretty basic being written up "Back-in-thr
day" before it beczame more than a niche subject.

The "delicious" variety of apple is mealy in the exterfme, including the
Jonathan offshoots.

My normal "cooking" and "general purpose" applesm tend to be some form
or cultiar of the Northern Spy family.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Hot Apple Cider
 Categories: Five, Beverages, Fruits
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
    1/2 ga Cloudy apple juice (cider)
      4    (1") cinnamon sticks
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Nutmeg
      6    Whole cloves
 
  In a saucepan, bring all the ingredients to a boil,
  reduce heat and simmer for about ten minutes.
  
  Strain the spices before serving. Enjoy
  
  ALTERNATE VERSIONS: You can add a slice orange to the
  pot for a citrus twist. OPTIONAL: add some rum before
  serving.
  
  NOTES: I first experienced this at Lincoln's New Salem
  Historical Site during the annual "Christmas at New
  Salem" put on by the Illinois Historic Preservation
  Agency. It was served by ladies from the Springfield
  Junior League in period dress - at the Rutledge Tavern
  
  It was like drinking a slice of apple pie. I was so
  hooked on it that I hung about and cadged the recipe.
  This is a reduction in quantity version. But otherwise
  true to the bone.
