Ingredients

  • 2 quarts (8 cups) apple juice
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 12 whole allspice
  • 12 whole cloves
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups apricot brandy or apricot nectar

Steps

  • 1
    In medium saucepan, combine apple juice and brown sugar. Cook over low heat until brown sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, tie all spices in cheesecloth bag. Add spice bag to saucepan; simmer 15 minutes.
  • 3
    Remove saucepan from heat. Remove spice bag; stir in brandy. Serve hot in small mugs or cups. If desired, garnish with apple slices or wedges and cinnamon stick.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you don’t have cheesecloth, add the spices (break up the cinnamon stick) to a tea strainer and place in the saucepan.
  • tip 2
    Double this recipe for winter gatherings and keep the beverage warm in a slow cooker.
