Spiked Sour Apple Cider

1. 1

   Add water to crockpot and set to 10 hours. Slice apples and add to the water. Stir in cinnamon, allspice, and ground cloves. Add honey or agave nectar.

2. 2

   Approximately halfway through cooking, mash apples with potato masher and stir.

3. 3

   Once cooking is compete, pour cider through a wire mesh strainer into a large mixing bowl. Repeat until all grainy bits are removed. Alternately, use a cheese cloth.

4. 4

   Store in glass jars. Heat prior to serving. After reheating, add rum.

5. 5

   Note: I like to add 2 tablespoons for every 8 ounces, and I add it after heating the cider. This ratio keeps the spices front and center while also letting the rum do its thing.
