So I found out this one by mistake one, when I poured my Spiced Apple tea into my Beef Stew by mistake (never keep your Drinks and Seasoning cups beside each other hahahahahaha!).
But to my honest surprised, it actually turned out REALLY Good. There's just something about the Tea that punches through a lot of the other flavors to give the stew a new depth and dimension. After doing some experimenting, I found out that Blueberry and Cherry also work very well. The Blueberry was great fro Roasts and things like that, while the Spiced Apple worked the best in a stew. think it has to do with the clove and cinnamon in it).
Is there any particular reason for this? I know that pairing fruit and meats isn't really something to strange, though I don't see it often. What about them works?
