Equipment

  • Slow Cooker 

Ingredients

  • 6 cups apple cider unsweetened
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin filling
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon allspice berries
  • 1 honeycrisp apple cored and sliced
  • 1 navel orange sliced

Instructions

  • Stir the apple cider, water, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree together in your slow cooker.
    6 cups apple cider, ½ cup water, 1 cup pumpkin puree, ½ cup brown sugar
  • Add in the spices and fruit.
    1 inch fresh ginger, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 1 teaspoon allspice berries, 1 honeycrisp apple, 1 navel orange
  • Let the cider mull in the slow cooker for 4 hours.
  • Strain through a cheesecloth lined colander or mesh strainer to remove the solids.
  • Serve warm garnished with fruit and cinnamon sticks, if desired

Notes

Variations

  • Hard Cider - add a splash of bourbon, brandy, or rum while the pumpkin cider mulls in the slow cooker.
  • Make Ahead - Make the pumpkin cider 2-3 days in advance, keep in a pitcher with a lid or covered with plastic wrap in the fridge. Rewarm it in the slow cooker the day of your event.
  • Make on the Stovetop - simmer the cider ingredients in a large pot, covered with a lid, over medium low heat for 30 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. Lower the heat if it begins to bubble too much. Do not leave this unattended on the stovetop.
  • Top with whipped cream! It'll melt into the cider, making it creamy and rich.
