Wash the apples, pears, and cranberries thoroughly.

Chop the apples and pears into pieces, using unique varieties like ginger gold and aain if available.

Add the chopped fruits into a pot.

Add fresh ginger slices, cloves, a cinnamon stick, and a bay leaf to the pot.

Pour in 6 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it simmer for about 45 minutes.

Listen for popping noises from the cranberries as they burst open, releasing flavor into the mixture.

After 45 minutes, carefully strain the mixture to separate the liquid from the solids, keeping the liquid in the pot.

The strained solids can be saved for making cranberry sauce or applesauce.

Turn the heat back on and add 2 L of apple cider to the strained liquid.

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness with sugar to your liking, considering if it will be served cold with ice.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

Serve hot or allow to cool and chill in the fridge before serving cold.
