If you’ve only tried hot, mulled cider in your crock pot for the holidays, you may want to “punch” it up a bit with a Crock Pot Christmas Punch. Your guests will be singing your praises when they encounter the “pucker up” tangy flavor of the cranberry juice mixed with the incredible sweetness of the pineapple juice. This combination certainly delivers a wonderful surprise. I recommend keeping this punch nice and hot, and serving it right out of your crock pot. Dip good, sturdy mugs, not little dainty cups, right into the crock pot and put in a fresh cinnamon stick for stirring. Hearty and festive!
When paging through crockpot recipes for good, flavorful hot drinks for the holidays, I found quite a few that included apple cider, but oftentimes my husband and other men in my family don’t really appreciate cider like I do. So, considering a more tangy flavor would be more to their liking, using cranberry juice seemed just about right. Don’t be afraid of the sweetness of the pineapple juice; when faced with the cranberry juice, it bows to the robust flavor and gets kudos every time.
