Mix in a Jar: Spiced Cranberry Cider Mix
Usually I try not to include too many mixes that require additional contributions other than water or milk as I want to keep it as simple as possible for all involved. However, this particular mix is an absolute wonderful addition to an assembled gift basket for the holiday season or even as a stand alone gift. The flavor is absolutely magnificent and it makes your house smell just incredible.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried cranberries
12 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon crushed whole cloves
2 tablespoons whole allspice
Combine all ingredients in a ziplog bag and shake until well blended.
Attach a tag with the following instructions:
Spiced Cranberry Cider:
2 quarts apple cider
1 quart water
1 package spiced cranberry cider mix (this package)
2 oranges, sliced
Combine first cider, water and mix in large saucepan and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, but do not allow to boil. Add three quarters of the orange slices to the simmering cider. Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining oranges before serving.
