6 c. apricot nectar
6 c. apple cider
6 tbsp. sugar
6 tbsp. lemon juice
10 whole cloves

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Flavor is improved if mixture is refrigerated for 1 to 2 days. Reheat to serve.

This can be made ahead of time. If you wish to add vodka, do so when you reheat the punch. Makes about 14 servings.
