Serve your sports fans this delicious hot treat during the final quarter of the game, to warm their tummies for the final end-run, as they head home!

This hot spiced cider is ideal for sports parties, tailgating events, cold-weather picnics and even holiday gatherings.

Ingredients:

2 quarts apple cider
1/4 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
2 whole lemons

Whole cloves

Instructions:

Pour cider into large crock pot. Add brown sugar. Set crock pot for high heat.

If desired, hosts may add 1 or 2 cups of rum to the mix.
