Wassail recipe

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

We are brewing up some warmth and the house smells so good:)

Wassail:

2 quarts apple juice or cider

1 pt (2 cups) cranberry juice

3/4 cups sugar– (I actually use 1/2 cup)

2 sticks cinnamon

1 tsp whole allspice (I actuallly had this in my pantry–who knew?)

1 small orange studded with whole cloves (or if the bitty oranges at your grocery store looked inedible like they did at mine you can substitute 1/4 of a regular orange or just throw in a splash of orange juice, toss in some cloves and call it good.)

Put it all in a pot and cook covered for one hour and then simmer for 4 to 8 hours.

Makes the house smell delicious, tastes good and warms you up! :)

Snow, snow and more snow.

We are having fun but getting a little stir crazy.
