Growing up, we always had Wassail at Christmas. It’s just a perfect warming Holiday drink. Sure, it was 80 degrees here in Florida on Christmas Day this year but that’s besides the point. We cranked the A.C. down and got our fill of this delicious apple-y cinnamon-y goodness. I converted this to a crock pot recipe because I didn’t have the burner space available and the option to keep it on warm all day was pretty appealing. This drink would be wonderful anytime during the Holiday Season and is perfect for parties. Enjoy!

Cider Wassail
Adapted from here

2 quarts apple cider
2 whole oranges, sliced into rings
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches)
1 dash ground cinnamon
1 dash ground cloves

In a large crock pot, combine all of the ingredients, stir well to dissolve sugar. Put crock pot on high heat setting to warm up, this should take about an hour. Once Cider Wassail is hot, reduce crock pot setting to warm to hold throughout the day. Serve hot in mugs.
