Total Time: 90 minutes; 5 active minutes | Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 6 whole cloves
• 1 quart apple cider
• 2 cups tart cherry juice
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Preparation

• Place cinnamon sticks and cloves in a spice bag or a piece of cheesecloth. Tie to secure.
• In a slow cooker, combine the cider, cherry juice, maple syrup and the packet of spices.
• Set the cooker on high and let cook for 1 hour or until hot. Taste, and if you want a little more syrup, stir it in.

Serving Suggestion

• Want even more cherry flavor? Add a handful of dried cherries to the slow cooker. They will plump as they soak up the cider and release their flavor, leaving you a tender morsel to enjoy at the bottom of your mug of cider.
