Spiced Pumpkin-Apple Cider
On a crisp autumn or winter weekend in New York, nothing says warmth and welcome like a simmering pot of spiced cider. With the Geedel Vegetable Chopper, prepping apples and pumpkin purée becomes quick and effortless. Using store-bought apple cider as a base, enhanced with cinnamon and cloves, this comforting drink fills your home with a sweet, inviting aroma—perfect for casual gatherings and chilly days.
Ingredients
- 500ml apple cider (ready-to-drink)
- 1 apple (peeled and cored)
- 50g pumpkin purée (canned or homemade)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
- 1 orange slice (for garnish)
- 1 mint leaf (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep the Apple & Pumpkin Purée: Even & Smooth
Peel, core, and cut the apple into 2cm chunks. Place them in the Geedel Fruit Chopper using the cubing setting. Press once for evenly cut pieces—quicker than hand-cutting and with less oxidation.
In the Food Chopper with Container, mix the pumpkin purée with 1 tbsp of apple cider to prevent clumping during heating. Set aside.
2. Simmer the Cider: Infuse with Flavor
Pour the remaining apple cider into a pot. Add the apple chunks, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin mixture and brown sugar (if using). Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring 2–3 times to prevent the purée from sticking to the bottom.
3. Strain & Serve: Warm & Inviting
Use a fine strainer to remove the apple pieces, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Pour the warm cider into mugs, garnish with an orange slice and a fresh mint leaf.
Sip and savor the blend of sweet apple, fragrant cinnamon, and creamy pumpkin—a truly cozy drink to share with friends, full of seasonal charm.
Conclusion
Making spiced cider is easy when you have the right tools. The Geedel Vegetable Chopper cubes apples uniformly, the Fruit Chopper keeps them fresh, and the Food Chopper with Container blends the pumpkin smoothly.
Using simple supermarket ingredients, this recipe requires no special skills—just warmth, flavor, and the spirit of the season in a mug. An effortless crowd-pleaser for any autumn or winter get-together.
