Pear Cider Float

1 bottle of your favorite pear cider
Vanilla bean ice cream


In a large pint sized glass, fill it about half full of the cider. now scoop about 3 round scoops of ice cream into the glass. watch out for fizz! once you've got enough ice cream, top it off with the rest (or as much as will fit) of the cider. now grab a spoon and a straw and enjoy!

your personal preference with the cider may vary. i've found that the sweeter ciders taste better. if there is too much alcohol taste, the flavor of the pear doesn't come through. also try raspberry cider!

Cider Brats

1 package of your favorite brats
1 bottle of your favorite cider
sliced adequate amount of fruit corresponding to the cider

put brats, fruit and cider in pan and cook over medium-high heat until brats are done. serve brats and cover with cooked fruit.

variation:

replace fruits with vegetables like onions, bell peppers, eggplant, tomatoes. put the veggies in the pan with some olive oil and brats. cover and cook on medium-high. stir occasionally and when the brats are slightly browned or the veggies start to carmelize.
