Spiced Cider

2 quarts apple cider or juice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 each cinnamon sticks
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
additional cinnamon sticks, optional

1. In a large saucepan, combine the first six ingredients; bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon sticks.
3. Use additional cinnamon sticks for stirrers if desired.

I usually double this recipe and then, after cooling, return it to it's original plastic jug and store in the fridge so that my family can enjoy hot cider at breakfast. It keeps for a few weeks. Servings: 10. Yield: 2 quarts
