My Inspiration

---

On the Illinois/Wisconsin state line there is a wonderful place called Harvest Time Orchards. You can pick your own apples and pumpkins, or buy them directly from their “barn” shop. In their “cider barn” you can watch them make apple cider too, which was always a huge hit with my kids when they were small. People line up to buy their homemade donuts and bratwurst.

They sell apple cider by the half gallon and the gallon and we bought some every year. They also offer a seasonal treat – apple cider shakes. I asked them what was in it and they said soft serve vanilla ice cream, apple cider and cinnamon. I created my own so I could have them any time I wanted.
