Spiced Apple & Pomegranate Cider

Several have asked for the recipe of the Apple & Pomegranate cider I made at the Trunk Show. It is easy to double or even triple in a big pot if you’ve got a big group coming.

Servings: about 7 cups (10 6-ounce servings)

Prep: 10 mins

Total: 15 mins

Ingredients:

4 cups apple cider

2 1/2 cups pomegranate juice (I had to use cranberry-pomegranate juice and it was still good)

6 to 8 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1/3 cup orange juice

2 3-inch cinnamon sticks

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan combine apple cider, pomegranate juice, brown sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. (For the party, I just left it on the cooktop on the lowest simmer setting for everyone to ladle into a mug.)

2. Discard cinnamon sticks. Serve warm. If desired, garnish with additional cinnamon sticks and pomegranates.

Enjoy!
