The principal of our children's elementary school made this to share with guests at the school's annual holiday celebration. As parents filed out of the gym after the performance, the scent of warm apple cider and cinnamon wafted through the air; our mouths were watering as we lined up for our cup of Christmas cheer. The scent of this hot cider punch simmering on the stove will make your house smell delicious. It's perfect for a holiday or New Year open house.- 4 cups real apple cider
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1 cup fresh(not from concentrate) orange juice
- 1-1/2 cups apricot nectar or peach nectar
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 cinnamon sticks
Heat in a large pot, stirring to dissolve sugar. Turn heat to low, simmer at least 20 minutes. Serves 20.
