Hot Apple Cider
A classic wassail punch that will impress your guests, while warming hands, tummies, and spirits.
Equipment
- Crock Pot or Instant Pot
- Sharp knife
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon Apple Cider
- 1 Large Apple (I used Fuji, my favourite)
- 1 Bosch pear
- 2-3 2-3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp Whole Cloves (about 10 cloves)
- Fresh grated nutmeg (optional, but amazing!)
- 8 oz Bourbon *optional
Instructions
- Gather all of your ingredients together, and set your crock pot to Low.
- Pour in your cider and let it begin to simmer while you prepare the fruit
- Slice your apples width-wise straight through the core. If you can see the 'star' in the center you've got it right.
- Measure out your spices directly into the pot. A little spill won't ruin the mix.
- Let the cider and spices simmer to perfection over 2-4 hours, and ladle into big ole mugs when guests arrive.
