Stewed Apple Syrup

Ingredients

• 3 gala apples (cored and quartered)

• 6 large allspice berries
• 1 whole nutmeg
• 2 oz fresh chopped ginger
• 1/4 oz lemon juice

Take apples, crush them (i put them in a Boston shaker and used a muddler to crush) so they’re almost the consistency of apple sauce. Add to saucepan with spices, 6 oz water, 6 oz turbinado sugar and 1/4 oz lemon juice. Let simmer uncovered on low heat for 10 mins. Uncover and simmer another 5 mins. Add remaining water and turbinado sugar and allow to simmer 5 minutes covered 5 mins uncovered. Allow syrup to cool and strain in cheesecloth, then double strain to ensure the syrup is clean.
