Apple Cider Recipe

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 quarts Apple Juice

**1 tsp All Spice

**1 1/2 tsp cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

A few orange slices

**Put the All Spice and Cloves in a tea strainer.

2 hrs on low and remove spices and oranges or else the flavor gets too strong...

SOOOO yummy and one of our favorite family traditions!

I'm thinking of planning a Christmas "thing" for every week. We'll probably end up doing much more than that tho! :)

EEEEeeeeeeK! I'm so excited!
