Hot Spiced Cranberry Cider

2 quarts apple cider

6 cups cranberry juice
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
4 cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cloves
1 lemon, thinly sliced

1.In a large pot, combine apple cider, cranberry juice, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves and lemon slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove cinnamon, cloves, and lemon slices. Serve hot.

Notes: This is usually served at my son's birthday dinner since his birthday happens in the winter. It is convenient to just make it in a slow cooker and let it cook all day and fill the house with a nice aroma.
