3/4 tsp cloves
1 medium navel orange1 medium lemon
4 cups apple cider or juice
3 cups cranberry juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1. Insert cloves into
orange. Cut orange and lemon into
slices. In a large sauce pan, combine
the remaining ingredients; add orange
and lemon slices. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered,
for 30 minutes.
2. Remove cinnamon
sticks and fruit slices with a slotted spoon, if desired, before serving.That is the official recipe. I actually used a crock pot and that worked just fine.
