  • 1-2 fresh gala apples, sliced
  • 1 cup of cherries

  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 3 cups sparkling apple cider
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • ½ cup brandy
  • ½ cup dark spiced rum
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • 5 whole cloves

Preparation:

1.       Slice apples and insert whole cloves directly into the fruit.

2.       Combine all fruit slices in a glass pitcher and slowly pour
in brandy and wine. Cover and chill from 2-24 hours (the longer, the
better!)

3.       Before serving, add sparkling cider and orange juice. Stir
gently and serve over ice. Makes approximately 15 servings.
