Apricots lend golden color and goodness to this fruity beverage from Ruth Seitz of Columbus Junction, Iowa. Ingredients:
1 can (16 ounces) apricot halves, undrained |
4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice |
2 cups apple cider |
1 cup orange juice |
18 whole cloves |
6 cinnamon sticks (3-1/2 inches), broken |
additional cinnamon sticks, optional |
Directions:
1. In a blender or food processor, blend apricots and liquid until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan. Add pineapple juice, cider and orange juice. Place the cloves and cinnamon sticks in a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with a string to form a bag. Add to saucepan. (Or place loose spices in saucepan and strain before serving.) Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15-20 minutes. Serve hot in mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks if desired. Yield: 2 quarts.
