Lamb’s Wool

Lamb's Wool

I gallon of apple juice or apple cider or a combination of the two.
Pinch of nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
Six eating apples, peeled and sliced
Honey or brown sugar to taste
1/2 pt whipping cream
1Tbs sugar (Brown or white)

Spice quantities are approximate, they can be adjusted according to individual taste. Warm 3/4's of the cider in a large pot, but do not boil. In a second pot, combine the remaining of cider with apples, spices and bring to a boil. Keep cider simmering at medium high heat until the apple slices are cooked through and start to go frothy (like lamb's wool). Warm a large pitcher to prevent cracking, then pour in the larger quantity of warm cider. Then add the hot spiced cider and apples to it. Whip the cream with the white or brown sugar. Add cream to the pitcher of cider or spoon onto individual servings. (For those adults not adverse to alcohol, add Calvados or Apple Jack apple brandy to the Lamb's Wool to taste.)
