Recipe for Spiced Cranberry Punch

Cranberry Punch has such a lovely color and it is so suitable for Christmas parties. The spices give it a lovely flavour. Can be served hot or cold. If serving cold, I like to use a block of orange juice in the punch bowl rather than ice cubes. I put the juice in a small bowl then freeze it. This way the ice melts slowly and ads to the flavor of the punch rather than dilute it.
