Wassail

Have this ready in your crock pot or simmering on your stovetop at your next cold weather party or gathering. It's wonderful and very "seasonal." Recipe is from my friend Rachel.

  • 1 c. fresh orange juice
  • 4 sticks cinnamon
  • 1 whole allspice
  • 4 cloves
  • 8 1/2 cups apple cider or juice
  • 2 1/8 cups dark rum*
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice*
*May substitute pineapple juice for these two ingredients.

Bring all ingredients to a boil, then quickly turn heat off and let steep for 4 hours. Serve hot (reheat before serving or keep warm in a crock pot turned to "low" setting while steeping).

Makes more than a half gallon
