Great warm cider recipe for the holiday season. I made it for a Christmas "get together" last week. It was a special treat to warm up our guests. We wound up adding Captain Morgan to "harden it up" a little. It also adds a nice aroma to house to add to that holiday feel.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. These apples will hold their shape and flavor when cooked.
  • Use fresh citrus fruits: Fresh oranges, lemons, and limes will give your punch the best flavor. If you don't have fresh citrus fruits, you can use bottled or canned juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will lose their shape and flavor.
  • Add the spices and sweetener to taste: The amount of spices and sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the punch warm or cold: Warm apple-citrus punch is perfect for a cold winter day. Cold apple-citrus punch is refreshing on a hot summer day.

Conclusion:

Warm apple-citrus punch is a delicious and easy-to-make beverage that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover apples and citrus fruits, and it is also a healthy and refreshing alternative to sugary drinks.
