Crisp apples are popping up in the trees in different beautiful hues of green, yellow, and reds. But what do you do when you have too many? Or the birds have had their portion first? Make apple butter! Not just any apple butter though, let's throw in some homemade salted caramel too! This would be the perfect treat to top your morning toast, scones, biscuits, and pound cake. Or add it to your next fall cheese board!
Mary Crockett's Clarified Milk Punch
Clarified Milk punch has been around forever! Mary Crockett’s recipe is my favorite and most simple recipe that dates back to the 1700s. I’ve kept this recipe close to hers only adding, of course, vanilla! Along with a few other minor changes.

This isn't ordinary strawberry liqueur! The vanilla adds a creamy addition that mellows out the vodka. Serve over ice or add it to sparkling lemonade. Either way you will not be disappointed!
