Blackberry and Pear Mulled CiderIngredients: 1 gallon apple cider
1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
2 Bartlett pears, washed, cut into wedges
4 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp. ground ginger Preparation: Place cider, blackberries, pears, cinnamon, and ginger in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove blackberries and cinnamon sticks. Keep cider in pot over low flame on stove for guests to help themselves. Or place cider in round chafer over low flame with ladle and mugs nearby on buffet table. Note: Why are we removing the blackberries and not the pears? The blackberries lose their color and turn an unappetizing gray after being cooked in the cider. Serves: 1 gallon

Hot cocoa mix
1-1/2 cups caramel syrup Preparation: In a large pot, heat the gallon of milk until hot but not boiling, and add cocoa mix according to package directions. Add caramel syrup and stir until combined.
