Couldn't find the apple/raspberry (or cranberry) concentrate at the local market. Instead I mixed apple juice with some raspberry juice that I had in the freezer. I may have used too much raspberry juice as mine came out a lot darker than I expected but it sure tastes good! This would be very nice have in the crock pot for holiday visitors or to come home to after winter shopping or outdoor play. The cinnamon is a wonderful touch.
