• - Apple cider vinegar with the mother (enough to fill the jar)

• - 1 cup cranberries

• - 1 jalapeno pepper

• - 1 cayenne pepper

• - 1 dried ghost pepper (optional for extra heat)

• - 1 ginger root (about 3 inches)

• - 1 turmeric root (about 3 inches) or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

• - 1 sprig of rosemary

• - 1 sprig of sage

• - 1 teaspoon whole cloves

• - 1 teaspoon allspice berries

• - 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• - 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

• - 2 oranges

• - 2 lemons

• - 2 limes

• - 1 red onion

• - 5 garlic cloves

• - 1 cinnamon stick (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare all the ingredients by washing them thoroughly and chopping or slicing them into manageable pieces.

2. In a clean, sterilized one-gallon jar, add the cranberries, jalapeno pepper, cayenne pepper, dried ghost pepper (if using), ginger root, turmeric root or ground turmeric, rosemary, sage, whole cloves, allspice berries, dried thyme, black peppercorns, and cinnamon stick (if using).

3. Squeeze the juice of the oranges, lemons, and limes into the jar, and then add the squeezed fruit peels as well.

4. Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves and add them to the jar.

5. Pour apple cider vinegar with the mother into the jar until it completely covers the ingredients and fills the jar to the top.

6. Use a clean wooden spoon or a non-reactive utensil to stir the mixture gently, ensuring that all the ingredients are immersed in the vinegar.

7. Seal the jar tightly with a non-reactive lid or cover it with a layer of plastic wrap before sealing it with a metal lid to prevent the vinegar from corroding the lid.

8. Place the jar in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard, and let it sit for 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, remember to shake the jar gently every few days to help infuse the flavors.

9. After the desired infusion period, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

10. Transfer the strained Fire Cider into clean, airtight bottles or jars, and store it in the refrigerator.

11. Fire Cider is ready to be consumed immediately, and it can be enjoyed by taking a small shot daily or incorporating it into salad dressings, marinades, or even cocktails for an extra kick.
