I always have these (for my A.D.) as part of my Thanksgiving Relish Tray, and in the past have always bought Musselman's. There is only ONE store in Seattle that carries them, or I could order two jars on line through Amazon for over $20 (fawgettaboutit!), so here is a recipe that I will be making this morning:
1 cup San Pellegrino Sparkling Water
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. ginger
1/4 t. allspice
3-4 drops red food coloring (or use beet juice*)
3 slices lemon
3 large red cooking apples - get the firmest you can find*
In a 12" skillet, heat all ingredients except apples to boiling. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 5 mins. Meanwhile, core apples (but leave peel on), and slice into 1/4" thick rings. Cook half the rings at a time in liquid, about 3-5 mins. Dip out first batch, and cook second in same liquid. Discard lemon slices. Place rings in a serving bowl, and pour liquid over apples. Cover and refrigerate for up to a week. If you are giving these as a gift, put in a jar with a note attached that they must be in the fridge and used within a week.

Have FUN today!!
