I don’t know what it is about this time of year but I love harvest smells and tastes. This Autumn Harvest Punch would be so yummy either cold or warm! You can serve it up like the photo or simmer it in the slow cooker for a few hours.

Autumn Harvest Punch Recipe
This time of year I always want something warm, but not necessarily tea or coffee. This autumn harvest punch uses lemonade and orange juice and REAL fruit! How about that. Infuse the flavors and juice from real fruit by simmering this punch all day in your slow cooker before serving.
Here’s my favorite slow cooker because you can leave your food or beverages cooking all day on low or high. It’s no frills but it’s also less than $30 right now on Amazon!
Another reason I love this punch is it actually LOOKS like autumn, doesn’t it? It has all the colors of my front yard right now.
Rosemary Health Benefits
You may think about skipping the rosemary, because it’s just a pretty addition, right? But before you do, think about all the health benefits of rosemary and how much more FLAVOR it will add to this amazing autumn punch recipe.
Rosemary has a range of health benefits, including:
- Rich in antioxidants
- Improved digestion
- Enhanced memory and concentration
- It’s good for your brain function
- Helps prevent brain aging
- Slows and reduces cancer cell formation
- Protects against macular degeneration
Do you have those weekends where you are just hanging out with your family and it feels so much like fall and you just want something yummy but not really wanting to bake anything? This is such a fun, healthy treat to give your family! You can even make it on a Sunday and have it all week long!

This was great we served it to the kids after our Bonfire Night party and they loved it. The designated drivers did as well.
What a beautiful front yard you have! And what a fabulous Autumn Harvest Punch. I was hosting a few friends here at the house, and your recipe received rave reviews.

A perfect Fall punch – I love the addition of maple syrup which is a favorite ingredient to bake/cook with but I’m not sure I ever put it in a beverage. Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday…
