cider
1 medium-sized apple, whole |
20 whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks |
Pour
the apple juice into a slow cooker and set it on low. Wash the
apple. Poke the cloves into the skin of the apple so it looks
like a "porcupine" with clove spikes. Float the apple in the
juice. Place cinnamon sticks in the juice. Cover and simmer for
1 hour before serving. Refrigerate any unused juice and reheat
in the microwave by the mug.
Note from JanDee: So easy and delicious.
Let it simmer in the slow cooker the longer the better! |
