• Total Time: 2 hrs 35 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 20

• 6 inches cinnamon sticks
• 6 whole cloves
• 6 whole allspice
• 2 cups white cranberries (I used red as white could not be found- my punch was rosey colored)
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1⁄3; cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 (750 ml) bottle pinot grigio wine (or similar)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a 3 qt crock pot.
2. Cover and cook on low setting 2.5 hours. Remove and discard cloves and cinnamon sticks before serving.
3. Directions for spice bag- gather spices and put in a piece of cheesecloth tied with a string. (leave longer threads so it is easier to take out or I hang mine from the end of the crock similar to a tea bag) The punch retains the flavor of the spices without the mess of removal.
