How to Make Hot Spiced Holiday Punch
- In a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, combine apple cider, cranberry-raspberry juice, raspberries, brandy (if using), brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, ground ginger, cloves, and allspice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat. Carefully strain the punch through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Return the strained punch to the Dutch oven or transfer to a slow cooker.
- Add apple wedges to the punch.
- If using a Dutch oven, cover and heat over low heat until the punch is warmed through, or if using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low until heated through.
- Pour the hot punch into heatproof mugs or serving bowls.
- Garnish each serving with an apple wedge and enjoy!
