Red Hots Hot Cider Punch



I have been making this hot cider recipe for years.

It was made originally for me years ago by a sorority

sister for one of our winter sorority meetings.

It is deliciously sweet from the Red Hots candies

which equally add to its cinnamon taste.

The gorgeous red color they provide, with the help

of cranberry juice, make it the perfect hot

cider for the holidays.

 

Here is the recipe!

 



Red Hots Hot Cider Punch
Makes 1 Gallon+

1 gallon apple cider
1 quart cranberry juice cocktail

Tie in cheesecloth or place in tea ball:
     2 teaspoon whole cloves
     2 teaspoon whole allspice
     2-3 sticks cinnamon
OR
     1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
     1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
     1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

8-12 ounces bag of Red Hots (to taste)

Instructions:
Heat cider, juice, spices, and red hots until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes and until candies dissolve. Take out spice ball or, if using ground spices, strain through cheesecloth prior to serving.

I hope this becomes one of your go-to hot cider

recipes like it is mine.  Its great not just for the holidays

but for anytime during our colder months.
