WARM CIDER CRANBERRY PUNCH
I first made this at an instructional cooking camp. My kids loved it so much that, for a time, they insisted we make it every day. Serve it hot in the winter or with the ice during the summer. -Carol Gehringer, Raleigh, North Carolina

CRANBERRY CIDER PUNCH
Steps:
- Combine all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. You can store this in the fridge for a few days - I keep the spices and rind in the syrup for flavor, but remove right before using.
- Add the cranberries and water to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the water is simmering and the cranberries are busting, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Use the cranberries in the punch and as garnish in the glasses.
- Stir the ingredients together gently (the ginger beer will make it fizz!) and taste. All ginger beers can be different, so you may want to add more simple syrup or cider if yours is super spicy. You can also use ginger ale, but in that case you may want LESS simple syrup than what is called for. Serve the punch over crushed ice (this is important!) and garnish with the bursting cranberries.
HOT CRANBERRY PUNCH
With its spicy ingredients, this thirst-quencher packs a hearty harvest punch. Notes June Formanek of Belle Plaine, Iowa, "The beverage is a cinch to brew for a crowd. And whatever is left can be saved and reheated later."

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If fresh cranberries are not available, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
- Make sure the apple cider is hot when you add the cranberries. This will help to extract the flavor from the cranberries.
- Add the spices to the cider before you add the cranberries. This will allow the spices to infuse the cider with flavor.
- Let the cider simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the cider warm with a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange.
