Christmas Wassail image

This is a recipe my mother made and passed down to me. I have passed it down to my daughters. It is a traditional holiday punch for Christmas parties. Enjoy! You stud the oranges with the whole cloves -- you can make decorative designs, if you want.

Categories     Punch Beverage

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 1/2 gal

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 gallon cider
2 cinnamon sticks
6 oranges
whole cloves (for studding oranges)
3 cups brandy (more or less)

Steps:

  • Stud the oranges with the whole cloves and bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes.
  • On top of the stove, heat the cider and cinnamon sticks until almost boiling.
  • Pour the hot cider into a large punch bowl. Add the studded oranges. Add the brandy to taste -- the more the merrier!
  • To replenish wassail, just add more heated cider and more brandy. The longer the oranges sit in the punch, the more orange flavor there is to it.
