Ingredients
- 1 gallon apple juice (natural, unfiltered)
- 1 4 inch piece of vanilla bean
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 valenica or navel oranges(5 inch diameter or use 3) organic
- 2 tablespoon real vanilla extract
- vegan 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.
