Winter time is coming and this is just the drink to warm up your bones.
Whether you add alcohol or not to this recipe..it is good.
It's a great one for Christmas or New Years.
Add a big bowl of popcorn and your robe and slippers and it makes a cozy way to spend a cold winter night.
Of course...Sean Connery would be my first choice to spend a cozy night with.. but this probably will have to do.( LOL) ;D
Wassel
1/2 gal apple cider ( 4 cups)
2 Tbsp. red hot candies
Spices (tied in cheesecloth) : 3 cinnamon sticks, 2 tsp whole cloves, 2 tsp allspice
1 thinly sliced apple & 1 sliced orange
Bring cider and spice packet to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add...
2 cups orange juice
4 cups cranberry juice
(optional...add Hot Damn Schnapps or choice of Rum to taste)
Pour it into a crock pot, put lid on and let simmer for ever how long.
Dip out and Serve Hot.
So...........Ms. T,
Are you going to make some so that we can come over and sing, "Here we come a Wasseling among the leaves so green"????? ???
The Wassel sounds great and I'd come over and drink it. I wouldn't sing though, I promise. And you can ask my boys if you don't think that's a GOOD THING!
Derek made some last night.
Of course the reason was...It is Deer Season and also it is turning out to be COLD!
I will tell you this.. after you drink a cup of his brew, you will be praying that your mouth will even work to be able to sing. LOL
Wow... potent stuff.
I think maybe if I make some, I will "lighten up" the Hot Damn schnapps"... so when you drink it, you will say "Oh Darn that is good.....
Instead of hollering "HOT DAMN!" that is some stuff!
hahaha :D
