Recipe by Jean Kressy
A swivel-bladed vegetable peeler works well for removing the orange peel. Be sure to remove only the colored part of the peel - which contains the flavorful oils - and no more; the white pith is bitter.

- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 5 (3 x 1-inch) strips orange rind
- 8 whole cloves
- 4 whole allspice
- 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks, halved
- 1 whole nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, and discard solids. Serve cider warm.

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
