This festive wassail blends the sweetness of apricots with the tang of pineapple, plus apple and orange juices. All spiced with cloves and cinnamon. Perfect for family gatherings or cozy nights in.
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
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.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
