APPLE CRANBERRY CIDER


Please make this over the holiday season---it is delicious!  Your family and guests will enjoy it so much!   I place the finished cider into a crock pot so that it stays hot and so that guests can serve themselves.   Save your leftover cider and enjoy it throughout the week even after the party is over.   Merry Christmas!!

Ingredients:
1 gallon of Apple Cider
1 and ½ quarts of Cranberry Juice Cocktail
Juice from 4-8 Oranges
½ cup light brown sugar (optional)
8-10 cinnamon sticks
20-25 whole cloves
10-15 whole allspice

Instructions:
*Combine ingredients in a heavy saucepan.
*Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. 
*Simmer for 30 minutes.
*Strain and discard spices.
*Serve hot.  Garnish with orange slices.
*Refrigerate leftovers.
