Mulled Apple Cider
Yield: Makes 10 servings
Ingredients:
2
quarts bottled apple cider or juice (not unfiltered)

1/4
cup packed light brown sugar

1
square (8 inches) double-thickness cheesecloth

8
whole allspice berries

4
cinnamon sticks, broken into halves

12
whole cloves

1
large orange

Additional cinnamon sticks (optional)



 
Preparation:
1.
Combine apple cider and brown sugar in 2-1/2- to 3-quart slow cooker. Rinse cheesecloth; squeeze out water. Wrap allspice berries and cinnamon stick halves in cheesecloth; tie securely with cotton string or strip of cheesecloth. Stick cloves randomly into orange; cut orange into quarters. Place spice bag and orange quarters in cider mixture.

2.
Cover; cook on HIGH 2-1/2 to 3 hours.

3.
Once cooked, cider may be turned to LOW and kept warm up to 3 additional hours. Remove and discard spice bag and orange before serving. Ladle cider into mugs. Garnish with additional cinnamon sticks, if desired.


Tip To make inserting cloves into the orange a little easier, first pierce the orange skin with the point of wooden skewer. Remove the skewer and insert a clove.
