Calvados?

[Cairycat]

We dropped our son off at his college apartment today, but first we shopped at a store with a wide selection of beer, wine and spirits. We splurged and bought a bottle of Calvados. I have some ideas of how to use it but would appreciate any special recipes or ideas you all have. Thanks!

1. Use to deglaze pan of sauted chicken or pork, add sliced apples until heated

4. My god man no!!

That would be like using the Booth Stradivarius violin in a marching band..

5. Depends on how good the Calvados is. Does not take much.

I usually use a mix of Calvados and chicken stock, but normal brandy/apple brandy works too. The question was in cooking and baking forum, so I figured poster knew about sipping it.

2. Use it by drinking it slowly.

Calvados, Armagnac, Cognac are too good to use in cooking!

6. Probably the best idea

I still use cognac and bourbon for cooking, but not the top shelf stuff.

Calvados is one of my favorite spirits to drink neat and I prefer it to cognac.
