Our New Year Punch is a spiced apple sparkler that everyone will enjoy. If you prefer, substitute ginger ale for the champagne.

For a fancy touch, rim the glasses with cinnamon-sugar. 

Ingredients
4 cups apple juice or apple cider
6 whole cloves
4 cardamom pods, broken
1 cinnamon stick
1 bottle sparkling wine or champagne
apple slices, for garnish
Instructions

In a saucepan, combine apple juice and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool, then chill overnight in a large pitcher.

Strain spiced juice into a punch bowl and add sparkling wine. Just before serving, add ice.

If desired, rim the glasses with cinnamon-sugar. In a bowl, combine 1 part cinnamon to 2 parts sugar. Wet edge of glass in apple juice, then dip into cinnamon-sugar. (You can also buy cinnamon-sugar mix in the spice aisle at the supermarket.)

I've been serving this for years at my New Year's Eve parties thinking it was my own idea. Apparently not! Ha-ha-ha!

Kris I notice most of the decorating and cooking e mails are out after you decorate, make your cookies, etc. Any editors around?

It doesn’t do any good to get this recipe on New Years Eve since it’s supposed to be made the day before. This recipe should have come out yesterday.

I want to try this, but I would try sparkling white grape juice in place of the wine.
