2 quarts fresh apple cider
2 quarts cranberry juice cocktail
1-1/2 quarts orange juice
1 orange studded with whole cloves

Combine the cider, cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice, orange, and cinnamon sticks in a large kettle.
Place over low heat, bring to a low simmer, and simmer for 2 hours. Just before serving, add the orange and apple slices. To serve, ladle directly from the kettle into mugs or heavy glasses and stir in rum to taste, if desired.
