How to Make Cherry Spiced Cider
- In a large saucepan (or slow cooker), combine 4 cups apple cider, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup maraschino cherry juice, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 orange (peeled and zested), 6 whole cloves, and 1 teaspoon allspice berries.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (if using a stovetop). If using a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1-1.5 hours.
- Reduce heat to low (stovetop) and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or continue cooking on low until desired flavors meld (slow cooker).
- Remove from heat (stovetop) or turn off slow cooker. Carefully strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids (cinnamon sticks, orange peel, cloves, and allspice).
- Place 2 maraschino cherries and 1/2 orange slice in each of six mugs.
- Pour approximately 2/3 cup of the warm spiced cider into each mug over the cherries and orange slices.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the festive flavors!
