Hot Buttered Cranberry Punch
5 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
5 cups cranberry juice
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cans cranberry sauce (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup butter, or pats of butter
2 cups vodka, optional
In a large saucepan or stock pot, combine the juices, brown sugar, cranberry sauce and water. Tie the whole cloves and cinnamon sticks in cheesecloth and add to the pot. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or longer.
Just before serving, stir in the vodka, if desired, and the butter. The butter will float on top and may need to be replenished from time to time, or float a small pat of butter in each cup.
Serve in mugs or heat-resistant punch cups. Makes 30 to 35 (4-oz.) servings.
