Wassail
1
Gallon apple cider
2 C. cranberry juice
1/2
C honey
1/2 C sugar
2
oranges
Whole cloves
1 apple, peeled and diced
Allspice
Ginger
Nutmeg
3 cinnamon sticks (or 3 Tbs. ground cinnamon)
1/2 C - 1 C brandy (optional)
Set
your crockpot to its lower setting, and pour apple cider, cranberry
juice, honey and sugar in, mixing carefully. As it heats up, stir so
that the honey and sugar dissolve. Stud the oranges with the cloves,
and place in the pot (they’ll float). Add the diced apple. Add
allspice, ginger and nutmeg to taste — usually a couple of tablespoons
of each is plenty. Finally, snap the cinnamon sticks in half and add
those as well. Cover your pot and allow to
simmer 2 - 4 hours on low heat. About half an hour prior to serving,
add the brandy if you choose to use it.
