How to Make Cranapple Cider

  1. In a large saucepan or slow cooker, combine 1 (12 ounce) can of cranberry sauce, 6 cups apple cider, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  2. If using a stovetop, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until heated through and flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed, adding more brown sugar if desired.
  5. Serve warm and garnish with cinnamon sticks, orange slices, or cranberries for an extra festive touch.
