It’s another Sunday Funday for us, and seeing as the weather has turned cold (finally!) that means it’s time to break out a couple of my favorite cold-weather recipes: Apple Pie Moonshine and Best Ever Chili!
These two recipes go together like apple pie and baseball, and even though the chili is maybe not the most attractive chili you’ll ever make, trust me, it’s delicious!
We typically make the Apple Pie Moonshine in big batches, and then store it in vacuum sealed glass jars from IKEA – because we have one in St. Louis now. Yayyyyy!
One batch lasts a couple of months and can be served either warm with whipped cream on top as a shot, or cold in a short glass. It doesn’t taste strong, but trust me, it packs a punch, so drink slowly!
The Best Ever Chili is like most chilis in that it gets better the longer it sits. Top it with cheese, sour cream, guacamole and even Fritos to pump up the flavor even more!
