Wassail (Warm Autumn Punch)
Ingredients
- 8 cups apple cider
- 3 cups orange juice
- 1 (46 oz) can pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp honey (optional, or to taste)
- 2 3-inch cinnamon sticks
- 2 tsp cloves
Instructions
- In a large pot (at least 6 quarts or larger) whisk together apple cider, pineapple juice, orange juice and honey. Add cinnamon sticks and cloves.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer 30 minutes.
- Strain and serve warm. Garnish if desired (see notes).
Notes
- For best results use real apple cider (the kind generally found in the produce section in the fall). For best flavor use “not from concentrate” pineapple juice and orange juice.
- If you don’t want to strain later on put cinnamon and cloves in cheesecloth and tie, then just remove at the end and serve.
- You can make it in the slow cooker too! Cook, covered, on low heat 3 hours.
- Garnish with fresh apples slices, mandarin oranges slices, cinnamon sticks or fresh cranberries if desired.
