How to Make Warm Raspberry Cider For The Holidays

  1. In a large saucepan or slow cooker, combine 6 cups of apple cider, 1 (12-ounce) package of frozen raspberries, 1/2 cup of orange juice, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  2. If using a saucepan, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until the raspberries are softened and the flavors have melded.
  3. Reduce heat to low and maintain a warm temperature until ready to serve. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Before serving, taste and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup or a touch of honey if desired. Strain out the cinnamon sticks and cloves if preferred for a smoother drink.
  5. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely for a refreshing twist. Garnish with fresh raspberries, a cinnamon stick, or an orange slice for an extra touch of elegance.
