With the New Year almost upon us are you looking for something non-alcoholic yet tasty for your party? Whether it is something for the children to drink, or for the drivers, join me in a low pressure, non-alcoholic concoction that is quite delicious.
If I’m having a party I like to keep things simple to reduce the stress levels when preparing. This delicious Spiced Apple Cider with Cranberry and Orange recipe from Ashley, TheRecipeRebel – details at the end of the post – is just the thing.
There are two cooking options: for a really low pressure way use a slow cooker; or combine in a large saucepan over a low heat. The latter will need you to keep an eye on it, but only occasionally.
Ashley says she …
… just loves cranberry anything lately. I also love that you can keep it hot all day in the slow cooker, which is great for parties, and you can control the added sugar by making it yourself! … I love that this is a warm, holiday drink that the little ones can enjoy, too!
