Crock Pot Spiced Apple Cider

Description: Have this ready in time and just leave it in your crock pot on the low setting to serve to your guests. This amount is for my 3 liter/quart pot and is easy to adapt for a larger pot. I like to use white sugar but brown can be used if you prefer a darker color. You can add rum or vodka to each serving for a kicked up version.

Ingredients:

• 8 cups apple cider
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 orange, quartered
• 1/2 lemon, cut in half
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 15 whole cloves (tied up in muslin)
• 1 inch fresh ginger, cut in slices

Steps:

1. Put all ingredients in the crock pot.
2. Cook on high for 2 hours, then on low for 3 hours.
3. Remove the fruit and spices before serving.
