Wassail

Makin' a List...

Drinking wassail as we trim the tree is a newer tradition in our family, but a delightful one. Add a little rum to make a fruity Christmas toddy.

½ cup water
½ cup sugar
about 6 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1 quart orange juice
16 ounces cranberry juice*

Combine water suger and spices in a large Dutch oven or slow cooker. Simmer on low heat 10 minutes. Throw away the spices and add remaining ingredients. Heat well and simmer.

*You can substitute cranapple juice if you reduce the sugar to ¼ cup.
