Mulled Cider

When the weather is chilly this gently-spiced, hot cider is a welcome and comforting treat. The aroma of the cider fills the air and welcomes guests into the kitchen for a visit before dinner, or I serve it for lunch with a friend. We also love this kid-friendly cider with popcorn and a movie for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Blessings...

Recipe:

12 cups apple juice
6 cups cranberry juice
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tbsps. butter
2 tsps. vanilla extract
1-2 tbsps. mulling spices, tied in cheesecloth (I use 2 tbsps.)

Combine all ingredients in large kettle and simmer for 30-45 minutes.

Yield: 17 cups
