ingredients
1 can (16 ounce size) apricot halves, undrained
4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
2 cups apple cider
1 cup orange juice
18 whole cloves
6 cinnamon sticks (3.5 inches), broken (so they fit in the cheesecloth)
whole cinnamon sticks for garnish
directions
Pour the undrained apricot halves into a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth then transfer the apricot mixture to a large saucepan.
Add the pineapple juice, apple cider, and orange juice to the pan and stir gently.
Combine the cloves and cinnamon sticks in a square of cheesecloth and tie shut with kitchen twine. Add the spices to the saucepan.
Bring the wassail to a light boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and let the wassail simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Serve the hot wassail in heat-proof mugs, garnished with additional cinnamon sticks if desired.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
