Spiced Cider

Here's another fall favorite for you to try out; for sipping at the Friday night football game or maybe around a backyard bonfire. Spiced cider is simply the most delicious stuff under the sun! And it's so simple, it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to prepare and is even more delicious the next day... if there's any left! The beauty in using the whole orange and cloves is that you get the delicious mulled flavors, without needing to strain the mulling spices out of the cider. It's beautiful and festive with less cleanup!

1 gallon of Huck's fresh apple cider
1 whole orange
1 handful of whole cloves
Cinnamon for sprinkling

Wash the orange to remove any oils or dirt. Using a fork, carefully poke holes all over the surface of the orange peel and insert the whole cloves into the holes. Sprinkle cinnamon over the orange, concentrating on the areas where you poked the holes. Pour the cider into a crock pot and add the orange. Heat on medium til hot, allowing time for the spices and citrus flavors to meld with the cider. Serve hot with a cinnamon stick for garnish.
