Here we Come a Wassailing!

Warm punch drink

Free Recipes

The holiday season is here, and many of you are busy planning the festivities for family and friends. In our family, those festivities include sharing some warm Christmas punch. There are a number of traditions associated with the term “wassailing,” some good, some not so good, but for me the term has always meant warmth, family gathering, and Christmas cheer.

From a healthy eating standpoint, the following wassail recipe has much to recommend it, especially if served in place of other less desirable beverages. The combination of cider and orange juice, along with the pungent spices will fill your home with a wonderful fragrance, while at the same time providing a savory warm drink for you and your guests to enjoy.

WASSAIL

1 gallon apple cider
1 can frozen orange juice
6 Cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon Allspice, whole
1/2 teaspoon Cloves, whole
1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)

Add cider and orange juice to a stockpot. Tie up spices in cheesecloth and add to the juices. Simmer for an hour or until desired taste. Add brown sugar, only if more sweetness is desired. (The recipe is healthier without the added sugar.)

Serve warm with thin orange slices as garnish.

This Christmas season, if you are lucky enough to have carolers come "a-wassailing" to your door, you can thank them with some of this warm, spicy punch before sending them on their way.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Eat and be healthy with my warmest regards, Signature
