SilverHorn 

1 cup apple cider 
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup light rum 
1/2 cup Appel, Applejack, or any other apple liqueur
1/3 cup fresh orange juice and pulp (about 1 orange)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice and pulp (about 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves

Mix together apple cider and honey. Heat on lowest possible setting
just until the honey dissolves, stirring constantly.

Add to cooled mix the rum, apple liqueur, orange juice and pulp,
lemon juice and pulp, ground cinnamon and ground cloves.

Let set 3 weeks at room temperature, shaking every day, then filter
into smaller bottles using muslin cloth.  Makes about 3 cups of
SilverHorn.

Let set (at room temperature) as long as you can stand it - one
*year* produces a *very* smooth drink, but try to wait at least
three months.

Apple liqueur may be hard to find in some states.  It *is* a
neccessary ingredient!


This recipe was pieced together (after a lot of experimentation!)
from hints dropped by someone who had the GoldenHorn recipe and
one of his ex-girlfriends.  I have no idea how close to the actual
recipe it is, but it produces a very nice drink.

To those of you who may have SCA connections, please distribute
the above recipe freely and widely - the monopoly on the GoldenHorn
recipe was really annoying. Please just make sure my name is on
the recipe.

This recipe can be infinitely modified, but this is the most popular
one I have tried so far.  In particular, try changing the amount
of honey and/or spices.  If you find a better combination, please
let me know!
