A lady at our church gave me this recipe several years ago for this wonderful holiday punch served very warm or chilled. I think it tastes best very warm. It's the perfect addition to your holiday party. Hot apple cider is great, but why not spice it up a bit with something different... warmed Christmas Punch!
Christmas Punch
8 oz. Red Hots candy
1/2 gallon cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 gallon apple juice (or whatever your favorite)
4 sticks (short sticks) cinnamon
1 small sliced orange (optional)
Using some of the apple juice, boil the Red Hots until melted. Continue to boil and add remainder of juices, and cinnamon sticks. Reduce heat , top with orange slices for garnish, and let simmer for 15 minutes. Serve VERY warm.
By the way, your house will smell great, too!
