mulled cranberry apple cider

I altered the original recipe my mom sent to make it easier. The original called for random amounts of juice and I didn't have a way to measure it. So I just did 50/50 cranberry and apple. I also doubled this to make a large batch.

64 oz. bottle cranberry juice cocktail
64 oz. bottle apple juice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 inches cinnamon stick
1 tsp. whole allspice
1 tsp. whole cloves

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, covered 20 mins. Remove spices.

If you don't have the whole allspice/cloves, it still works with ground. Just add half of what it calls for.

Also, when doubling (to make the math easier) it's one gallon of each juice to make a total 2 gallon batch.
