Holiday Wassail

It is a tradition in our family to drink a cup of warm wassail before our Thanksgiving feast.  A simmering pot of wassail fills the air with a comforting cinnamon-apple fragrance that will welcome your dinner guests and add to the overall ambiance in your home.  

Wassail 

1 gal. apple cider, plain

1 qt. orange juice

1 cup lemon juice

1 qt. pineapple juice

24 whole cloves

4 cinnamon sticks

1 cup sugar

Mix all ingredients and simmer 10 minutes.  Remove cinnamon sticks and cloves.  May be kept in crock pot or simmer to keep hot.  This recipe makes enough for a large crowd.  If it is for a small gathering, you may want to consider cutting the recipe in half.
