HALLOWEEN MAPLE CIDER PUNCH

Makes 6 servings.

Author's note: Whip up a batch of citrusy, sparkly punch for sipping while carving jack-o'-lanterns. Make a toast to the fun and frolic of Halloween. Kids can help measure and stir the ingredients.
 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons maple syrup
4 cups apple cider, chilled
1 cup ginger ale, chilled
ice cubes

DIRECTIONS

Pour the orange juice in a small saucepan, and stir in the maple syrup.

Place over medium heat and bring almost to a boil.

Remove from heat, stir once or twice, and let cool to room temperature.

(Or, combine the orange juice and maple syrup in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for three minutes.)

Pour the apple cider into a pitcher and add the cooled orange juice and the ginger ale.
Mix well. Serve over ice.
