The weather in the winter months in South Louisiana can be hard
to predict; however, it seems that the two or three weeks of Christmas
party season are almost always very cold. Here is an elegant and
warming cider to serve on those chilly nights. This red punch with
fresh, green rosemary sprigs is the perfect color for your next
big holiday celebration.
Ingredients:
- 4 ½ cups cranberry juice
- 1 ½ cups orange juice
- 3 cups apple cider
- 2 tbsps packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 3 tbsps grenadine
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- ¾ tsp whole cloves
- 1 orange thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh cranberries
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, rinsed
Method:
In a large pot, combine cranberry juice, orange juice, apple cider,
brown sugar, rosemary, grenadine, cinnamon sticks, cloves and orange
slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and add fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs.
Serve in a decorative punch bowl immediately or keep heated by serving
in a crock pot set on low.
