Hey guys! I hope everybody had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I was able to spend mine with my family and cousins in Georgetown, D.C. We had a great time.
Over the holiday we were cooking nonstop. Along with the major meals we made we also made several snack items such as candied nuts and some great beverages such as Apple Cider Margaritas (I'll have to ask my aunt for the recipe- I'm not a mixologist). To go along with the margaritas and candied nuts I prepared a special seasonal simple syrup. With cinnamon and nutmeg flavors it was delicious on almost anything we made!

Seasonal Simple Syrup
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Cinnamon Sticks
- 2 Cloves
- 1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Nutmeg
Combine all ingredients in small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer while constantly stirring. After the syrup simmers, reduce to low heat and let the spices infuse for about thirty minutes. Your house will smell amazing afterwards!
This syrup is extremely versatile and great when making candied nuts, mashed sweet potatoes, roasted butternut squash, or mixed drinks. When making waffles, serve it with chopped pecans and fresh whipped cream. Yumm!
