This cinnamon-apple sipper is infused with warming flavor from whole spices, and would work perfectly with a splash of whiskey or rum.
1 quart unsweetened apple juice
1 cup water
2 whole cloves
2 whole allspice
1 stick cinnamon
Add the apple juice and water to an electric percolator, large saucepan, or crock pot. If using a percolator, place the spices in the basket. If using a saucepan or crock pot, place the spices in cheesecloth and tie shut with kitchen twine. Place in the liquid.
If using the percolator, run through a cycle. If using a saucepan, heat over low heat until simmering. Simmer for 10 minutes. If using a crock pot, heat on high heat for 30-60 minutes or until hot. Remove the spices before serving.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
