#HotNutsandCiderAtHome #7: Leftovers! For the fin

#HotNutsandCiderAtHome #7: Leftovers!

For the final step you’ll need to recreate #HotNutsandCider at home, you might happen to have leftover cider, even if you aren’t buying dozens of gallons of it like we do 😄 So, what can you do with it?

1. Drink it! Cider is great hot or cold in cocktails or mocktails or just plain. This is also a great excuse to finally say you’ve had wassail and not just sung about it.
2. Ferment it! Thinking about hard cider the old-fashioned way? Make sure you get cider without potassium sulfate (a common yeast inhibitor) to start with or it won’t ferment.
3. Make apple cider donuts or cake.
4. Make apple cider molasses.
5. Make apple cider caramels or caramel sauce.
6. Make apple cider jelly.
7. Substitute for water in your oatmeal or tea at breakfast.
8. Get creative! Savory or sweet, cider pairs with so many other foods. See what else is out there that you might like!

If you’re looking for these recipes and more, check out our Pinterest page! We’ve got ideas for you for cider and a whole lot more. Find us at pinterest.com/piedmontpicnic!

P.S. Have leftover nuts? You can substitute them into any recipe that calls for nuts, you can eat them just as they are, or they can be stored in an airtight container in or out of the shell in the freezer for your next Hot Nuts & Cider!

~ We’ve enjoyed sharing Hot Nuts & Cider at Home with you over these past few weeks - although not quite as much as if we were around the fire together! 🔥 Thank you for your support and perseverance through this year. We look forward to a brighter, merrier, and safer 2021! See you then!

#HotNutsandCiderAtHome #6: Decorations!

Let’s be honest: you can drink cider anytime and anyplace, but the ambiance of #HotNutsandCider is what goes a long way to making it a special experience. As we help you recreate Hot Nuts & Cider at Home, we want to make sure your atmosphere is in line with your mood, and the decorations play a big role in that.

At previous Hot Nuts & Ciders at @raleighcityfarm, you’ve had a decorating table set up with materials so you could craft your own handmade ornaments to take home yourselves or leave and adorn the beautiful community tree from @highcountryfirs. When putting these together, we tried to come up with creations that would be so easy, you could do them half-drunk, in the dark, at a nut event. We have to admit, you all surpassed our extremely low bar every year!

We were also lucky to have the artists behind @wyldeflowers in 2015 stepping up our decoration game, guiding your creative talents to design and sell wonderful winter wreaths!

Swipe through to get inspiration for your own DIY holiday decorations this year! Some natural materials we like to use are: twigs & twine, sprigs of holly and other red berries, dried leaves or pods (dried okra adds a fun, Southern element), pine cones, and evergreen branches & boughs. Most of these are things you could find in your backyard, garden, or on a winter walk. Mix in ribbon, lights, and other ornaments to really personalize your creations!

For some more classic winter/Christmas decoration ideas, try stringing popcorn and cranberries into a garland, mold birdseed and hang it outside for your feathered friends, or use paper to cut into snowflakes, build paper chains, or fold into origami shapes.

In addition to adding to your holiday vibe, these decoration ideas give you something to do after you’re done cracking your nuts to roast! Happy crafting!
