Fruit-based Cocktails for the Holidays

There is something festive about a fruity cocktail during the holiday season and since pears and apples are fall fruits they lend themselves well to celebratory beverages. We have compiled a few of our favorite cocktails here to add a bit of specialness to your next gathering. Our SugarBee® Hot Spiced Cider is the perfect warm and cozy treat for a cold winter’s day by the fire. The addition of cranberries in the SugarBee® cider balances the sweet SugarBee® apples with a little tartness. This recipe is wonderful on its own as a nonalcoholic drink, or can also be used as [...]

Multigrain Porridge with Sautéed Lucy™ Apples

2019-11-19T00:39:57+00:00

It’s time to trade in your usual morning oatmeal for this new and vibrant breakfast option. The mix of grains gives the porridge an earthy, chewy texture, and the beautiful blush-colored Lucy™ apples sautéed in maple syrup are the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Soaking the grains overnight is optional, but we recommend taking the extra step because it makes the grains easier to digest and also speeds up the cooking time in the morning, and we all could use a little extra time in the morning! Created by: Meg Raines YIELD: 4-6 INGREDIENTS  1/4 cup quinoa 1/4 steel cut oats [...]
