Instructions: 1. Wrap cinnamon and allspice in cheesecloth, tying into bag with string. Combine cider, cranberry juice and cinnamon packet into slow cooker.

2. Cook on low heat for 4 hours. Remove cheesecloth bag and discard. Garnish with orange slices, if desired.

Garnish with orange slices, apple wedges and fresh cranberries for a more colorful fall celebration.

NOTES : There are many warm punch recipes for cooler days ahead. If youre planning a fall harvest party or a Halloween treat for your little ghosts or goblins, there are a few good "brews" to try.

I spotted Witches Brew in a fall magazine spread and adapting it to a slow cooker recipe couldnt have been easier. As with most slow cooking recipes, the punch simmers nicely for a long time, so no need to rush to "get it while its hot."
