Ingredients

4 cups apple juice (or apple cider)
1 cup orange juice
4 cinnamon sticks
1 Tablespoon cloves
1 apple (sliced)
1 orange (sliced)

Instructions

In a large pot, add apple juice, orange juice, sliced fruit and all seasonings.
Place over medium-high heat until it begins to boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for one hour.
Add sweetener to taste, and serve hot.
Garnish with a sliced orange, a dash of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.

Notes

You can cook wassail in a hurry by simmering for about 15 minutes on the stove, but the flavors will meld and be much better if you simmer it for an hour.
Use a crockpot for this recipe - add all ingredients to a crockpot, cover and cook on low for 3-5 hours.
