Chef notes

As the cider heats in the slow cooker, it fills the house with the aroma of holiday cheer.

Technique Tip: If you don't have a slow cooker, the glogg can be heated on the stovetop in an 8 quart pan to about 165° F. for 15 minutes.

Swap Option: Leave out the brandy to make it nonalcoholic.

  • 5-6 star anise
  • 8-10 cloves

  • 2 sticks cinnamon
Garnish
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 15 sticks cinnamon
  • 1 green apple, cup into 15 thin slices
