FAQs:
- Can you leave out the sparkling apple cider?
Yes, you can use regular apple cider. The sparkling apple cider just give it a fizzy taste.
- Can this be served cold?
Yes, this recipe tastes good cold also. Just refrigerate after cooking or add ice.
- Do you have to use a crockpot or slow cooker?
Using a crockpot or slow cooker is recommended to melt the cinnamon candy. If you don’t have one you could melt the candy in a sauce pan on the stove with a little water and stir until melted.
- Can you substitute for other juices?
Absolutely. It will change the flavor but any juice flavor should work. For example, you could use pineapple juice, white grape juice, plain cranberry juice instead of the cranberry pomegranate. You could also substitute the sparkling apple cider for plain apple cider and just add sprite or ginger ale for the fizz.
