Cranberry Cider

November 16, 2015 By Laura 5 Comments

You hear all about cranberry cocktails and sparkling cranberry drinks this time of year (confession: I might be working on one myself to share soon). But you know what you rarely hear about? Cranberry cider. You should, though. I don’t know how apples cornered the market on hot cider, because the humble cranberry is quite tasty when heated up and paired with some cinnamon and cloves and stuff. It just needs better PR, I suppose.

Cranberry Cider -- a recipe for a delicious warm drink that's perfect for chilly weather!

Nothing quite warms me up like a piping hot cider — cranberry or apple (oooh, unless it’s hot chocolate! Or something with booze in it. But I can’t be doing that at 9am…) Cranberry cider — all spiced and delicious. Now I’m ready for all the winter weather (snow tonight! Like…a lot of snow. Like…the kids might be home from school tomorrow snow. I may start the booze at 9am after all).

You could even double this cranberry cider recipe and keep any leftovers refrigerated in a covered container for a week. Or you could also dump everything in a crockpot, set it on low, and let it simmer all day until you’re ready for it. It will make your house smell divine. Promise.

I say we start a cranberry revolution. This could be huge.
