Wassail

My lack of posting new recipes has been terrible! Now that things aren't as crazy at work I think I'll have more time to post on this blog! As always - please let me know if you have suggestions, questions or improvements for the recipes!

This is my aunt's homemade wassail recipe.

2 1/4 c. sugar
4 c. water
2 cinnamon sticks
8 allspice berries
10 cloves
1 piece of ginger
4 c. orange juice
2 c. lemon juice
2 quarts apple cider or apple juice

Combine sugar and water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add cinnamon, allspice berries, cloves & ginger. Cover and let stand in a warm place for 1 hour. Strain. Just before serving add juices & quickly bring to a boil.

Makes 36 (1/2 c.) servings.
