A hot beverage like this is savored here when chilly weather returns after summer. The clove-studded orange slices are so attractive. Ingredients:
1 medium navel orange, cut into 1/2-inch slices |
50 to 60 whole cloves |
6 cups apple cider or juice |
1 cinnamon stick (4 inches) |
2-1/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice |
1/4 cup honey |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
additional cinnamon sticks, optional |
Directions:
1. Cut orange slices in half. Using a wooden toothpick, poke holes in the peel of each orange slice at 1/2-in. intervals. Insert a clove into each hole; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, bring apple juice and cinnamon stick to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the pineapple juice, honey, lemon juice and peel and nutmeg; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minute.
3. Discard cinnamon stick. Garnish with orange slices. Serve warm with additional cinnamon sticks for stirrers if desired. Yield: 8-10 servings.
