“This was AMAZING! So much so that my son requested that I make it for our Thanksgiving dinner this year! I was a little hesitant to try making stew with apple cider, but I've been wanting to try this recipe for a long while and we had some apple cider we neede” — a cook
“I will never make this again. The vinegar is overwhelming after cooking on low for 9 hours. I couldn’t feed it to my kids- I had to make a can of soup for them after planning this for dinner.” — a cook
