Mulled Cranberry - Apple Cider
- Serves: 6 to 10
- Prep Time: 20 min.
- Total Time: 4 hourss.
Ingredients
- 1 Gallon natural apple cider (the cloudy kind)
- 2 cups 100% natural cranberry juice
- 4 cinnamon sticks + 8
- 6 whole dried allspice berries
- 2 cups whole fresh cranberries
- 1/4 c. genuine maple syrup
- 1"-pc fresh ginger root
- 1 orange
- 8 whole cloves
- Capt. Morgan's Spiced Rum
- Brandy and Bourbon
Instructions
Put
everything into the crock pot except the ginger, orange, cloves and liquor.
Reserve 8 cinnamon sticks for stir sticks.
Turn the crock pot on high.
Peel and smash the piece of ginger root with the flat side of your butcher knife and add to the crock pot.
Peel the orange rind in one continuous spiral from the orange, stud with the cloves and add to the crock pot.
Bring to a boil covered, then let the cider simmer away uncovered while making your ornaments. When ready to serve, strain the spices, the clove-studded orange peel and discard. Add a few cranberries to each mug, then the liquor of choice, then the mulled cider and a cinnamon stick as a stir stick. Making the mulled cider this way allows the kids to have some too since the liquor is added to the individual glasses

Dear friend..you are so sweet! I am stressed but have not given up. I will call Staples and see what they can do. I am sure it is happening because of something simple. Please send me your email address so I can reply to your posts that way..and use my comments on your posts to talk about what you have shown us.
I hate to take up comment space with things about myself and my problem. I am a computer dummy..I couldn't even help you get rid of your "prove your not a robot" thing. You would think I would know more after blogging for the past three+ years or more...but I don't.
Big hugs! :)

WHAT a wonderful sounding recipe! I probably won't make it but it sure does sound great. I am going to keep it just in case I get motivated as it gets colder. Right now we are in the 80's :) Can you believe that? Oh..wait..Florida might be the same. Forgot about that. I lived in Jacksonville and it got down in the teens. I would have to drive the children to the bus stop and keep the motor running to keep them warm. :) Wow..I'd forgotten all about that!
