Wassail time!
It’s getting cold in the ATX! I know most of you have been cold for a month or two by now, but we’re finally getting it here in Texas. Good thing it will only last a few months! I always pull out my mom’s wassail (cider) recipe around this time of year, because it reminds me of winter.
Mom’s Wassail
- 2 -32oz bottles of Apple Juice or Cider
- 1 Can of Frozen Orange Juice
- 1/2 C Brown Sugar
- 1 T Allspice
- 1 T Nutmeg
- 1 T Cinnamon
- 2 Large Oranges, Sliced
- 10-20 Whole Cloves
- 6-8 Cinnamon Sticks
Combine everything in a large pot. Squeeze the juice out of the orange slices before throwing those in the pot. simmer for an hour, and strain. You can store this for up to a week in the fridge, but make sure to stir before re-heating, as all the spices will settle at the bottom. Enjoy, and stay warm, y’all!

Hello,
Awesome sight (: I noticed you don’t have a recipe for Sugar Skulls for Day of the Dead. Would you happen to know of a website where I could find it?
