My "unsweetened apple cider" tasted an awful lot like "sweetened apple juice" so I omitted the maple syrup. I also used more cider, having decided from the get-go that 16 oz of cider vs 1/2 cup butter would not work for me. I've had a similar drink to this before done in the slow cooker, and the butter remains liquidy, though it never mixes in (it's still terrific). I did also add rum to mine, but it tasted good even before that. I do think cinnamon, ginger, and cloves would improve this drink and will add them in the future, because I do plan to make this again during this holiday season :) Thanks for the recipe!

Really good;really buttery; But you may have meant to use more apple cider. I did not even use the entire 1/2 c of butter. that is a whole stick and it would have been way too much. did you mean 64 ounces of cider?

This didn't turn out well at all. I followed the recipe exactly, but we could only taste the butter. Also, the recipe says this serves 8, but it only made 2 cups? Next time I'll try a simpler recipe which calls for cinnamon, no butter.

The butter make is so rich and is a nice contrast to the sweet. You have to stir it around before each sip. Very much worth the effort....Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!

This is like drinking warm apple pie! Delicious! I tripled the amount of cider but only used 1 cup of maple syrup. Turned out great and has been enjoyed at several family and holiday get togethers!

I'm rating this a "4" because it *inspired* the recipe I evenutally made up from a bunch I've found on the www. The butter was NOT a problem and it was a huge hit among a diverse crowd of guests: 2 Gallons of Cider Crush slightly and wrap in cheesecloth: Cinnamon sticks Green cardamom, pods removed Star anise Whole nutmeg Cloves Allspice (I didn't have any...) Toss the packet in the cider. Wash and puncture multiple times: 1 orange 1 lemon Cut up and throw in: Dried pears Dried mangoes Pour in about: 1/2 cup maple syrup Start it cooking slowly, and when it's hot, THEN throw in: 1/2 stick of UNSALTED butter Then, just let it stew away. I started mine about 9 a.m. for a 2 p.m. holiday open house party. The butter is just a creaminess in the rich spicy fruit. It wasn't too sweet because of the other fruits, and the spices didn't make it bitter because of the butter. So, THANKS for the great recipe inspiration!
