Here’s a drink recipe that can be served hot or iced: Autumn Tea. I love tea/juice combinations and can’t wait to try this recipe! And here’s another hot cranberry drink — this Hot Cranberry Juice would be a great alternative to hot apple cider.

Have you ever used cranberry juice in cooking? Try these Kielbasa Apple Kabobs, which use 3/4 cup of cranberry juice! The recipe author says that “sausage makes these colorful kabobs different from most…. The meaty chunks are skewered with tart apples and colorful peppers, then basted with a mild sweet glaze.” Sounds yummy!
