Thursday

:: Hot Wassail ::

* 3 Cups apple cider or juice
* 1 1/2 Cups pineapple juice
* 1 1/2 Cups orange juice
* 3 cinnamon sticks
* 1 1/2 tsp. whole cloves
* 3 tsp. candied ginger or 1 tsp. ground ginger
* 1 1/2 Cups honey
* Rum (optional)

Directions

Mix apple cider, pineapple and orange juice in large pot. Put spices in cheesecloth bag or tea infuser, and add to pot. As it starts to heat, add honey and stir until incorporated. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes (or longer) to incorporate flavors. Keep warm over low heat. If you would like to add rum, add 1 Cup just before serving. You may also make this in a crock pot and heat on low for four hours. For extra flair, garnish with an apple or orange slice and/or a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!
