This dish slowly cooks to tender perfection, filling your kitchen with the aroma of mulled apples and spices. It's perfect for a special dinner party or a cozy night in.

Instructions: Set oven temperature to 325F 165C. Salt and pepper are used to season pork shanks. In a Dutch oven, heat the coconut oil or ghee over medium-high heat. Shanks of pork should be browned for three to four minutes on each side. Take out and place aside. Place the apples and onions in the same Dutch oven. Cook until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add the ground ginger, cloves, garlic, and cinnamon stick. Cook until fragrant, one or two more minutes. Place the pork shanks back into the Dutch oven. Add apple cider, making sure the shanks are covered. Place the Dutch oven in the oven that has been preheated, covered. The pork should be tender and easily pulled apart with a fork after 2.5 to 3 hours of braising. When the pork shanks are finished, take them out of the braising liquid and leave them to rest. After straining, put the braising liquid back in the Dutch oven. For ten to fifteen minutes, or until it reduces and thickens slightly, simmer the braising liquid over medium heat.

Elevate your BBQ game with this Liberty Citra IPA Beer Soaked Grilled Chicken recipe. The beer-infused marinade adds depth of flavor, while the grilling process locks in juiciness. BBQ like a pro and savor the perfect blend of hoppy notes and smoky goodness!

Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1 bottle Liberty Citra IPA beer. 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup honey. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. 1/4 cup olive oil.

Instructions: In a bowl, combine Liberty Citra IPA beer, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the marinade. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour 3/4 of the marinade over them. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting later. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even marination. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off. Discard the used marinade. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C before removing from the grill. Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and accompanied by your favorite sides.
