_________________________________________________________________ WASSAIL
 1 gallon apple cider
8 cinnamon sticks
1 lemon and 1 orange, washed and sliced
1 T whole cloves
1 T allspice
1 gallon white wine
2 c rum
Simmer the nonalcoholic ingredients together for 1-2 hours, then
add the wine and rum about 10 minutes before serving (hot).
I tested this recipe by dividing all the above quantities by 5, to
approximately scale to a 750ml bottle of white wine. The scaled-down
recipe I used fit well in my crock pot. |
