Steve's Apple Cider

I actually take store bought apple cider and use it as the base for my recipe for purposes of time and kitchen space. But, if you're able to make your own cider from fresh apples, it's even better!

1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 quarts ap...ple cider
1 teaspoon whole allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cloves
3 sticks cinnamon
2 large oranges, sliced

Put all ingredients in the crock pot. Stir until the brown sugar is well dissolved. Cover; cook on Low for 2 to 4 hours. Strain spices before serving.

*This is my brother Steve's recipe! ;P
