Thank you so much for sharing Lazyme. I can't believe that I am the first person to review this wonderful recipe. This cider is amazing, it is thick, rich, sweet, spicy and hot. You can't taste the rum, it disappeared...but boy does it taste good. The butter at the end just finishes it off perfectly...I made an alcohol version and an alchol free version...both were excellant. I will definitely be making this again often over the long cold canadian winter.

Yes, the house smelled yummy, but we this contained much more butter than we like, would definitely cut by 75% if making it again... We did not add rum, it might be better with! I had expected more, based on other reviews.
