1 gallon apple cider
2 quarts cranberry juice
1 1/2 cinnamon sticks
2 or 3 whole cloves
Sugar, to taste

Combine all ingredients; heat in large saucepan or slow cooker just until steaming hot (about 185-190°F) - do not boil.

Can be heat (just below a simmer) for up to four hours ahead of time or refrigerated and reheated the following day before serving for better flavor. Makes about 20 to 25 servings.
