WeberGrill recipes: Homemade pomegranate-ginger apple cider

Serves 6-8

Ingredients

• Fresh apples, 8-10 quartered. You can use a mix of tart and sweet (i.e., Granny Smith, Gala and Red Delicious).I’m using all Gala apples for a sweet cider.
• Fresh orange, 1 quartered with peel on
• Fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons minced
• Whole cloves, 2 tablespoons
• Pomegranate, 1 seeded
• Water, 16 cups
• Brown sugar, 1 cup
• Cinnamon sticks,6-8

Kitchen equipment

• 6-quart pot with lid
• Slotted spoon
• Fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth straining bag or straining pouch

Instructions for homemade apple cider

1. Add the apples and orange in a 6-qt pot on the Weber Summit Grill’s side burner.

2. Add the minced ginger, whole cloves and pomegranate seeds directly into the pot to strain out later.

*Pro tip:I prefer to add these ingredients inside a straining pouch to easily lift out the remains later. With a bag strainer, you don’t have to mince the ginger or thoroughly seed the pomegranate. Just slice and drop into the strainer bag!

3. Cover the apples with water, leaving about an inch or two of space at the top of the pot.

4. Heat the cider over high heat until it reaches a simmer.

5. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

6. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the apples are completely soft.

7. Using a slotted spoon, remove all of the solids (apples, oranges, spices), pressing them against the strainer to release all of their juices. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain out any smaller apple or orange pieces.

(*If you also used a strainer bag- simply remove the bag!)

8. Stir in the brown sugar.

9. Cover and let the cider simmer for 15-20 minutes.

10. Serve warm & enjoy!

*Optional-After you pour the cider into mugs or tumblers, garnish with a fresh apple slice and a cinnamon stick!

In my hometown of Virginia Beach, crabs are plentiful!

Here’s one of my family’s favorite crab recipes you can roast on the grill.

WeberGrill recipes:Rosemary grilled crab

• Fresh rosemary sprigs, 8-10
• Extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup
• Melted butter, 1/4 cup
• Garlic cloves, 4
• Dried red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions for the grilled Dungeness crab

1. Roast 2 Dungeness crabs (about 2 pounds each)directly on the Weber Summit Grill for about 20 minutes.

2. Remove crabs from the grill and let shells cool to the touch.

3. Lightly crack the crab shells, opening the center shell and removing the legs.

4. Spread the opened crabs and crab legs on a large baking platter or baking dish and add 6 to 8 fresh rosemary sprigs.

5. Add 1 large lemon, thinly sliced.

6. Drizzle over the crabs 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup of melted butter.

7. Chop 4 cloves of garlic and sprinkle over the crabs.

8. Shake 1 teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes onto the open-crab platter.

9. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper.

10. Toss with your hands to coat the crab pieces with the olive oil and seasonings, then arrange them in an even layer with most of the rosemary and lemon underneath.

11. Place the platter on the grill and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.

12. Remove the crab platter from the grill andsurround it with the remaining rosemary sprigs and lemon slices.

13. Serve & enjoy!
