Chefs at Market: Mulled Cider

You know what’s great about this recipe? Fragrant, warm and spicy, it has a sense of the special event without being alcoholic. With cider you can go ahead and clink mugs with the kids, but it wouldn’t be a crime to add a shot of rum. Drop into Migliorelli Farm’s stand for local, Hudson Valley cider.

• 2 quarts apple cider
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 whole allspice berries
• 2 whole cloves
• 1 orange, thinly sliced

Place all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer.  Do not boil. Divide among individual mugs and serve hot.
