This is an old-fashioned, traditional beverage, & the recipe for this particular winter holiday treat comes, with a few of my own tweeks, from Better Homes and Gardens 'so good with FRUIT' cookbook. Ingredients:
6 inches cinnamon sticks |
40 whole cloves |
1 teaspoon whole allspice |
6 cups apple cider |
2 cups cranberry juice |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1 teaspoon orange bitters |
3 medium oranges |
2 tablespoons rum extract |
Directions:
1. Break the cinnamon stick into pieces, &-along with the whole cloves & whole allspice-tie the cinnamon pieces in a cheesecloth bag.
2. Cut each orange in half.
3. In a large covered saucepan, combine the cider, cranberry juice, sugar & orange bitters.
4. Add the spice bag, oranges & rum extract, & simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
5. Remove spices & pour into a warm serving bowl, leaving the oranges to float on top.
