Hot Raspberry Cider Recipes

Steps:

• Place the apple cider, peppercorns, one of the cinnamon sticks, the cloves, and the star anise in a medium saucepan. Cut a large (1 by 4-inch) peel from the orange using a vegetable peeler and add it to the pan. Bring the cider mixture to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain into a 4-cup glass measuring cup and discard the solids.
• Pour the hot cider into mugs or heatproof glasses. Add 2 tablespoons of bourbon to each mug. Cut the orange in half through the stem, slice crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick half-rounds, and add one slice to each mug. Cut the apple in half through the stem, remove the core, slice crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick half-rounds, and add one slice to each glass.
• Serve hot with a cinnamon stick in each glass for stirring.

Steps:

• Pour the apple cider and maple syrup into a large stainless steel saucepan.
• Place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange peel and lemon peel in the center of a washed square of cheesecloth; fold up the sides of the cheesecloth to enclose the bundle, then tie it up with a length of kitchen string. Drop the spice bundle into the cider mixture.
• Place the saucepan over moderate heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cider is very hot but not boiling.
• Remove the cider from the heat. Discard the spice bundle. Ladle the cider into big cups or mugs, adding a fresh cinnamon stick to each serving if desired.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a 4-quart sauce pan. Simmer over medium heat for at least 20 minutes. Put 3 or 4 frozen raspberries in each glass before serving.
• If you are wanting to make larger recipe, use two 12 oz containers of raspberry concentrate to every 3 gallons of apple cider.

Steps:

• Combine everything in a large pan or crock-pot.
• Heat to a simmer, then turn down and keep warm until closer to serving time.
• May be served hot, warm or even cooled completely with equally tasty results.
• NOTE: Instead of apple-raspberry, try apple-cranberry, with a pitcher of reconstituted apple juice (instead of the cider).

Steps:

• Fill the filter-lined basket of a large automatic percolator with the brown sugar, cloves, allspice and cinnamon sticks. Prepare as you would coffee according to manufacturer's directions, but substitute cider for water.
