Description

Ingredients

• 8 cups (64 ounces) water
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 10 apples cut into quarters
• 1 nutmeg seed (or 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg)
• 3 cinnamon sticks (or 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon)
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves (or 2 teaspoons ground cloves)
• 1 teaspoon all spice

Directions

• In large slow cooker (at least 6 quarts) add the water, pumpkin puree, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.
• Add in the cut apples and spices.
• Cook on high heat for at least 2-3 hours until the apples are softened, then mash with a potato masher. Continue cooking on high heat for another hour.
• Turn the slow cooker off and allow to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Carefully spoon the cider out with a ladle and pour through a fine mesh strainer into a large jug, to catch all the mashed apple and large spices.
• Store the cider in a closed container in the refrigerator. Serve cider hot or cold.
