Bev’s Infamous Apple Cider 1L apple juice or apple cider by Bev Grant 1/4 c lemon juice (Brandy’s mom at Grand Pappy’s) 1/2 c orange juice 1/2 tsp Allspice 1/2 tsp Cinnamon (I usually use a whole cinnamon stick to make it look fancy) 1 Granny Smith apple cored & sliced (throw the core out, NOT in the cider) 1 Mandarin orange peeled & sliced or sectioned Place all ingredients in a crockpot or on the stove - let it heat & simmer! If you’re making this for a party, start it early in the day & let it sit on low all day - the aroma from it will make your guests think you’re Martha Stewart when they walk in the house! If I feel like being fancy, I’ll garnish the cups with an orange or lemon slice.
We’ll help with it all. (Minus the sleeping)

Topping: 1 large package raspberry Jello (170g) 2 cups boiling water (500 ml) 1 Tbs. lemon juice *2 – 3 cups frozen raspberries (500 – 750 ml) (*I find the jello sets quicker if you use the maximum amount of raspberries – and besides, we love the extra berries!) *1 cup whipping cream (250 ml) -I always use extra whipping cream for the topping about 1 1\2 cups (375 ml), sugar, vanilla Method: Crust: cut margarine into graham wafer crumbs until it becomes a well blended crumb mixture. Press into a 9 x 13 pan. Reserve 1\4 cup of the crumb mixture. Refrigerate for 1\2 hour. Filling: Cream the cheese well, slowly add milk, beating until light and fluffy. Add the instant pudding and mix until it’s thickened. Gently spread filling on crumb mixture. Topping: Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Fold in frozen raspberries. Stir until berries are mostly thawed and Jello is partially set. Add lemon juice. Spread on top of cream mixture. Refrigerate until well set. Whip cream until fairly stiff, adding sugar and vanilla to taste. Spread on top of raspberry layer. Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture and refrigerate.
