Hot Cranberry Perk Punch

This recipe came from a woman my mom knew from her Bible studies and we have adapted it to suit our tastes. We both love to make it all winter long. We store any leftover punch in a glass jar in the fridge and reheat it on the stovetop to put in our travel mugs for work the next day. My mugs don't smell like coffee, they smell like cinnamon and cloves! We also like to rinse the spices after and save them for their rich scent. (By the way, we have discovered that generic pineapple juices that come in plastic containers taste better than the juice that comes in a can.)
