Notes

Salton MultiPot Directions:
We are currently loving making this mulled cider in our Salton MultiPot Multi-Cooker because we can boil, simmer, strain, pour all with one pot!
  1. Place the strainer accessory into Salton 1.25 L MultiPot® Multi-Cooker
  2. Add all the non-cider ingredients into the strainer basket.
  3. Pour in the apple cider.
  4. Place the lid on the MultiPot and be sure the lid is turned so it is closed and the pour spout is sealed.
  5. Turn the temperature control knob to high and bring the contents to a boil.
  6. Once boiling, lower the temperature knob to low heat (one dot above the warming function) and let simmer for about 15-30 minutes.
  7. Serve right away or turn the temperature to the warming level until ready to serve.
  8. When ready to serve, remove the strainer and pour straight from the pot.
  9. Garnish with a few more cranberries, an orange slice, and a cinnamon stick. Serve hot!
