Cider Mulled Wine

For spice bag, place cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice on a double-thick, 6-inch square of 100%-cotton cheesecloth. Bring up corners; tie closed with 100%-cotton string.

In a 3- to 4-qt. slow cooker combine spice bag, wine, cider, and honey. Cover and cook on low 3 to 4 hours. Remove and discard spice bag.

Stir in orange and apple slices and, if desired, spiced rum. Serve immediately or keep warm, covered, on warm or low up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
