Earlier this fall, we hosted our first Thanksgiving at the farmhouse with Garrett’s family. It felt so good to have our home filled with loved ones to celebrate the holiday. I wanted to make something special to have when they all arrived and this Spiced Cranberry Apple Cider was perfect. It made the whole house smell amazing and it was incredibly easy to make.
While I was busy making the Bacon-Wrapped Turkey, Homemade Vegetarian Stuffing, Macaroni and Cheese and Homemade Cranberry Sauce, it was slowly simmering away in our slow cooker. When the guests arrived, I switched it to the warm setting and set it up with a ladle, mugs, napkins and garnish for everyone to help themselves.
