Is cider hard to make?
First, remember that you can cook this on your stove top. It will cook faster, of course and I would advise stirring it every so often. If you cook it in your Crock Pot, it is a set it and forget it type of drink. Which, of course, is great for a busy Thanksgiving or Christmas morning.
The apple cider secret
The secret to this apple cider's success is the orange juice and orange slices used in the recipe. The cranberries add a little something as well.
Orange and cranberry pair well together (along with the apple). I used orange in my cranberry sauce, and in the orange cranberry bread loaves.
Also, don't worry so much about the other spices. There is allspice, cloves, and cinnamon. I will give the exact measurements below, but you can be a little giving on the cinnamon measurement. I would stick with exact allspice measurements. That spice can be rather strong.
After putting all the ingredients in a slow cooker, give it a stir, set it on high or low (see below) and walk away. Then enjoy the delicious smell of apple, cranberry and orange in your kitchen. If an orange flavored recipe is your favorite, try Russian Tea.
Yum!
