- 4 apples cored and quartered
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 lemon sliced
- 2 cups unsweetened apple cider
- 7 cups water
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 2 tbsp mulling spices
- Honey or maple syrup to taste for sweetness
Put all of the fruit, along with the apple cider, water, cinnamon sticks and mulling spices (tie these into some cheese cloth so that they are easily removed), into the slow cooker.
Set on high for 4 hours or low for 8
- Once cooked, remove the cinnamon sticks, the mulling spices and as much of the fruit as possible
Pour the remaining liquid into a blender (I do this in 2 batches), blend, and then pour through a fine mesh sieve - Pour the cider back into the slow cooker, and set to keep warm
- Serve warm, and use some honey or maple syrup to sweeten if required Garnish with some cranberries and apple slices to make it pretty (optional)
Remember to tie the mulling spices into a little square of cheese-cloth to make it easily removable. If you don't have any, that's fine - just be sure to use a super fine mesh sieve to get all the 'bits' out of the cider.
Not my recipe but sure sounds good. Found on Whole Food bellies site.
