Crockpot Hot Apple Cider

I made two batches of this for a gathering of 20 people (including children), and we drank most of it.  This is a very yummy spiced cider that doesn't require tea bags or cheesecloth for the spices, thanks to the cloves-studded orange.

12 cups apple cider
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
3 sticks (3") of cinnamon 
1 orange (studded with whole cloves)

Combine the apple cider, brown sugar, ground cloves, ground allspice, cinnamon sticks, and the orange studded with cloves in a 4 to 5 quart slow cooker. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve in mugs.

You can keep this beverage warm for about 2 hours after it is done cooking. Just turn the slow cooker to "keep warm." This recipe can be cut in half for a smaller gathering.
