HOT SPICED CIDER

8 cups apple cider or apple juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp whole allspice
1 or 2 oranges
whole cloves

In large saucepan combine apple cider and brown sugar. Make a spice bag by placing the cinnamon sticks and allspice in a double thickness of cheesecloth and tying it up. Add to cider mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer at least 10 minutes. You can also pour the cider into a crockpot and set on low. Take the oranges and poke the whole cloves into them, and float in the cider.
