Warm Spiced Cider Punch
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 5 min. Cook: 4 hours
YIELD: 8 servings.
This is a nice warm-up punch. I like to serve it when there is a nip in the air. The aroma of the apple cider, orange juice and spices as the punch simmers in the slow cooker is wonderful. —Susan Smith, Forest, Virginia
