Cranberry Wassail Recipes

Steps:

• Tie whole spices in 2 layers of cheesecloth or place in tea ball.
• In large saucepan or Dutch oven, mix cranberry juice cocktail, brown sugar and nutmeg; add spices. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
• Stir in wine; cook until thoroughly heated. Remove spices. Serve wassail warm; garnish each glass with orange slice and cinnamon stick.

Steps:

• Pour apple cider, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice into a stockpot. Place orange slices, cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, and cloves in a muslin pouch or directly into the apple cider mixture. Bring apple cider mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove orange slices and spices before serving.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, except for the garnishes. (If you are iffy on the sugar, add it last, a little at a time and taste as you go along).
• Heat the mix to boiling in a large saucepan, reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
• Strain the wassail to remove the spices.
• Serve very warm in a heat-proof punch bowl and garnish with the orange slices and cloves.

Steps:

• Simmer all ingredients in a large pot for 20 minutes. Serve warm in mugs or let cool completely and serve over ice.
