Ingredients:
1 gallon apple juice (natural, unfiltered)
1 4 inch piece of vanilla bean
2 cinnamon sticks
2 Valencia or navel oranges(5 inch diameter or use 3) organic
2 tbsp real vanilla extract
maple syrup (if really necessary) to taste
Directions:
Slice the oranges into rounds. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise. Pour the juice into a crock pot or stainless steel pot, add the oranges, vanilla extract and bean, and cinnamon. Bring up to a moderate boil and hold there for at least 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to a simmer, and continue to cook 30 – 45 minutes longer. Add maple syrup if you must. May be kept warm all day-just add more juice in small amounts each time.
