Directions:

Set oven to 350. Wash the apples and score a line through the skin around the centre of each one. Place in a casserole dish which can also be used on the cooker hob and add the sugar and 1/4 pint of the brown ale. Cover and cook in the oven for 30 minutes until the apples are tender. Remove the apples and keep to one side. Add the remaining brown ale, sherry, lemon peel and spices to the casserole dish and simmer for 6 minutes on the hob to allow the flavours to mingle; add the apples and serve hot.

Wassailing is an ancient custom carried out on the Twelfth Night to encourage a better harvest from the fruit (particularly apple) tree at which a punch, such as this, may be drunk.
