SLOW COOKER MULLED CRANBERRY CIDER

Steps:

• Add all ingredients (except rum, if using) to the Crock Pot, and cook on high for about an hour and a half, or low for about three hours. Switch the Crock Pot to the warm setting, and it's ready to serve when you're ready to drink! You can also warm this in the stovetop. Let simmer very gently, covered, for about 30 minutes.
• Ladle the cider into mugs (leaving the fruit in the Crock Pot). I like to throw another cinnamon stick in there for good measure. Those nice long cinnamon sticks that double as a stirrer would work even better.
• Oh right, the rum! Add a shot of rum to your glass before you ladle in the cider, if you are rum-inclined.

MULLED APPLE CIDER

Steps:

• Pour the apple cider into a large pot and set over medium-high heat. Dice up the apples and toss them into the cider. Peel the rind off the orange in large pieces and toss that in too. Add the cranberries, allspice berries and cinnamon sticks. Add the sugar and stir it around to dissolve. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Add the brandy, then simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
