Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine apple cider, apricot nectar, dark rum, brown sugar, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon sticks in a large Dutch oven or stockpot.
  2. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugars.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover partially and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  4. While the mixture simmers, use a paring knife or skewer to stud the small oranges with whole cloves, inserting them evenly into the peel.
  5. After 1 hour of simmering, add the clove-studded oranges to the pot.
  6. Continue to simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to allow the orange flavors to infuse, then remove from heat.
  7. Serve hot in mugs or heatproof glasses, straining out the cinnamon sticks and oranges if desired, or leave them in for presentation.
