Warm Apple Cider

      Its a cold night in Minnesota and what better way to warm up then with some Spiced Cider. This also happens to be my very 1st blog posting EVER!!! I'm very excited to finally be starting up my blog.

        This is my Mom's Recipe:

1 Large Orange                                                     Makes 16 cups
12 Whole Cloves                                                    Cook 15 Min
1 Medium- Sized Lemmon
1 Gallon Apple Cider
6 3 inch- long Cinnamon Sticks



1. Cut two 1/2- inch thick slices from the center of the orange. Then Stick the whole cloves into the skin around each orange slice. Next remove a 1- inch- wide continuous strip of peel from lemon

2. In a 5- quart sauce pot over High heat, heat Orange slices with Cloves, Lemon peel, Apple Cider and Cinnamon sticks to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 15 min

3. Pour Hot Cider into large heat- safe Punch bowl (about 5 quarts) and serve

This recipe can easily cut in half . Enjoy
