Cranberry Apple Cider
Homemade holiday beverage in the slow cooker!
Servings - 24 servings
Ingredients
- 64 oz. bottle 100% apple juice
- 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
- Handful whole cloves
- Couple cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Pour the apple juice into the slow cooker. Add the fresh cranberries, whole cloves and cinnamon sticks.
- Set on high for 4 hours. Strain the cranberries, cloves and cinnamon sticks before serving.

This looks so yummy! I think we are having a cranberry apple theme this year, because I’m making cranberry apple compote as our cranberry sauce.
Gail says
This sounds great! Will it be ok or as tasty with this being leftover juice being cold in refrig?
Glenda says
Okay since I’m frugal-minded, do you have a recipe of what we can do with the cranberries we strain out of the drink?????? PPPPPPPPPLLLLEASE?
