APPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring the cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil the cider until it has reduced to a thin syrup (you should have about 1/2 cup), approximately 25 minutes. Cool and store at room temperature.

APPLE CIDER SYRUP

Steps:

• In a 1-quart, heat proof, microwavable measuring bowl, mix all of the ingredients. Heat in the microwave on high for about 5 minutes or until the butter is completely melted. Stir and heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Hints for success: - Be sure to heat the griddle before pouring your pancake batter. - Using a copper bowl to whisk the egg whites will give you more volume. - Do not whisk the whites until they appear dry. They should be stiff, yet moist. - Fold the whites and the squash mixture gently. If you over do it you will deflate the whites and have tougher, flatter pancakes. - The syrup is rich and full of flavor. You can make it the night before, refrigerate it and reheat the next morning. - Use the freshest apple cider you can find. If you use apple juice, try to use one that is not overly sweet.

BAKED APPLES WITH HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Core apples, being careful not to cut through bottom. Pare 1/2 inch at the stem end.

• Place the apples in a 8" by 8" baking pan.
• In a small saucepan combine water, honey, lemon juice and cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and pour syrup over apples.
• Bake in a preheated 375 oven until tender, about 45 minutes, basting occasionally with syrup from the pan.
• Serve warm or cold, with whipped cream if desired.
