Sipping on a warm mug of this always feels like a holiday to me! Starting with Thanksgiving, through Christmas, and ending on New Year's Day, I always start any holiday gathering with this treat, and just keep it warm in the crockpot all day long. It is fabulous. Ingredients:
8 cups apple cider or 8 cups apple juice |
4 cups cranberry-raspberry juice |
1 pint fresh raspberries or 12 ounces pkg. loose-pack frozen raspberries |
1/2 cup brandy |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
6 inches cinnamon sticks |
3 inches fresh ginger (cut in thirds) |
2 teaspoons whole cloves |
1 teaspoon whole allspice |
2 small cooking apples, cored and cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Combine apple cider, cranberry-raspberry juice, raspberries, brandy, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
2. Strain punch through a sieve lined with cheesecloth.
3. To serve, return punch to Dutch oven. Add apple wedges. Cover and heat until boiling.
4. Pour hot punch into a heatproof bowl or transfer to crockpot. Serve in heatproof cups, floating an apple wedge in each serving.
