Can the spice sack be reused for a second batch when done? I’m assuming it will still have some kick to it?

You would totally have to dry it out first. I have never tried drying it out before, so I would suggest untying the cheese cloth and spreading the spices out to dry. I’m not sure if the orange peel would make it, but you would try.

and if you don’t have any juice or cider, just simmering those goodies in a pan of water makes the house smell wonderful. Thanks for all your great posts Mavis ~ I just discovered your blog a couple weeks ago and have been coming back again and again. I wish I was your neighbor and could do some bartering with ya~!
