Ingredients

Scale

1 gallon high quality apple cider

6 whole cloves

4 cinnamon sticks

3 whole star anise

1 Bosc pear, sliced and cored

1/2 cup whole cranberries, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Add the apple cider, spices* and pear to a large, tall-sided pot

Warm over low heat to just below a simmer

Heat for at least 1 hour before serving**

Serve straight out of the pot, ladle into mugs

Garnish with cranberries (optional)

Notes

*If you want to be able to better control the spice level of the cider wrap the spices in a piece of cheesecloth, this will make it easy to remove them when the cider reaches your taste.

**You can keep it at this low setting for the duration of the party, if you are having a large gathering, add more apple cider as the pot gets low.

The pears will eventually get very soft, you may choose to keep them or skim them off the top
