Description: My mother in law has made this cider dish for years. She finally has shared the recipe with me and it couldn't be any easier. It's amazing how a simple few ingredients can make a dish memorable. To make this an adult drink add some captain's morgan's.
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp whole cloves
4 small cinnamon sticks
1 sliced orange
1/2 gallon (64 oz) apple cider
12 oz frozen orange juice
Directions:
1. Add the water, brown sugar, cloves, orange, and cinnamon stick to a pan. Over medium high heat warm the mixture about 5 minutes.
2. Add the cider and orange juice to the pan. Stir to incorporate.
3. Warm the mixture about 10 more minutes and add to a crock pot.
4. Keep the crock pot on high until desired temperature is reached. 1-2 hours and then move to medium temp.
5. When serving have a bottle of Captain's Morgan next to the crock pot for guests to add to their cider.
Tips and Tricks:
-During parties I have a reserved mixture in a pitcher in the fridge. As the mixture is being used I add as needed. I normally keep the crock pot on high when doing this.
-Kids like this cider a lot, thus it's easier to keep the booze out, and have the adults add individually.
