How to Make Blushing Cranberry Cider
- Remove two 3-inch-long strips of peel from one orange using a vegetable peeler and set aside.
- Juice the same orange and strain out the pulp.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1 cup cranberry juice, the orange peel strips, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled and thinly sliced), 4 whole allspice berries, and 2 whole cloves.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Taste and add 2-4 tablespoons of sugar or honey to sweeten, if desired. Stir to dissolve.
- Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve into a warm mug to remove solids.
- Garnish with an orange slice and serve immediately.
