Wassail
"As soon as I see fresh cider at the market, I think of this recipe. Serve it for a seasonal treat. It's great and always gets compliments. Given to me by a co-worker. I serve it Oct thru Dec. on holidays and for special occasions. Liquor can be added, if desired."

WOW!!! This was excellent. I had family over for lunch before a big football game and I served this to get us warmed up before we went out in the cold weather for the game. It had great flavor, and was really easy to make. I've been looking for a good wassail recipe, and I think I've found the one!!! -
I made this in the crockpot and the flavor was ok. It had more citrus flavor than I liked and lacked the spiciness that traditional Wassail has. My kids liked it though. Thanks for posting. -
This was great! I took sugarnspice's advice and made mine in the crockpot. My kids devoured this. I followed the recipe exactly. This will be made again for sure. Thanks so much for posting Kris! -
I had a cookie exchange party for Christmas and served 5 different traditional beverages. This one was the winner, hands down. I made it in a crock pot, and let it simmer all day. I had to make 6 batches of it, it was so popular! The house smelled lovely, and it felt like we were all a part of a Norman Rockwell moment. I am making it again this year - for 5 different parties, and I can't wait. Thanks for the great recipe! -
I made this several times last winter. It was always a huge hit!

I cook for fun (mostly because I don't have to cook every day) and am always on the lookout for interesting recipes. I also do some canning. Hobbies include jewelry making, drawing, and reading. I detest housework - but it gets done - eventually. I also detest car maintenance - that gets done immediately.
