Posted by Mark Kenyon on 13 Sep 2010 / 2 Comments

With hunting season only weeks from opening, I’ve been focused the past couple weeks on trying to clear out the last of my venison from the past year and this weekend we got to take a big chunk out of my stash. With fall creeping closer and closer it only felt right to go to the cider mill and pick up some fresh apple cider. And with that delicious beverage we were able to make an absolutely mouth watering dinner thats just perfect for a crisp fall evening. Apple Cider Venison Stew is one of my favorite dishes my girlfriend Kylie makes, as it’s the perfect combination of savory tender venison and the sweet tang of apple cider. There are few better meals to warm you up after a long chilly night on the stand.

So for all of you to enjoy, check out my cooking extraordinaire girlfriend’s recipe for Apple Cider Venison Stew! The perfect venison dish for these cool September nights…
