Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients
1 gallon apple cider
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cinnamon stick
Peel of 1 large orange
Peel of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon whole cloves
Cheesecloth, or large coffee filter + kitchen twine
Directions
Combine apple cider, fresh cranberries and cinnamon stick in a large pot. Place orange and lemon peels, along with cloves, inside of a cheesecloth, or a coffee filter and tie shut with kitchen twine. Place the tied bag in the pot along with the cider. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low to keep warm. Simmer for at least 2 hours before serving.
Let's Dish
I love making warm cider at the holidays. I think I enjoy the smell as much as the taste. I love this cider because it has the usual spice, along with the bright, fruity flavors of cranberry, orange and lemon. If you prefer, you can keep this warm in a crockpot. It's so easy to whip up a batch, and it makes the whole house smell like Christmas!

ReplyDeleteLooks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I gave up alcohol on August 31, and I've been looking for some nice evening drink recipes to replace my missed vodka martini. This will fit the bill nicely year-round. Happy New Year! Gary
