| For Spice Bag, cut a double
thickness of 100 percent cotton cheesecloth into a 6- or
8-inch square. Place orange peel, cinnamon, gingerroot,
and allspice in center of cheesecloth and tie with a
clean string. Combine apple cider or juice and honey or brown sugar in a 3 1/2, 4- or 5-quart crockery cooker. Add spice bag to cider mixture. Cover and cook on low setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove spice bag and discard. Ladle cider into cups. Garnish with fresh cinnamon sticks, if desired. Makes 8 (8 oz) servings. |
