Create this last minute beverage to go with your special Christmas meal today! Thanks to Elizabeth Pyle for this recipe!

“Every Christmas Day, my family and I have wassail and cinnamon rolls in in the morning while opening gifts. Now recipes for wassail are varied and we do variations on it each year without the alcohol. But the basic recipe that we use is:

Depending on the size of your crockpot:

Half Apple Cider + Half 100% Cranberry juice to fill almost to the top.

Orange slices

Cinnamon sticks

Whole cloves

Whole allspice

(spices are optional and to taste)

(Put Crockpot on high for about 2 hours to heat up, and put on low for rest of the day – the longer it’s simmered/heated the better it tastes)

Obviously it’s a do it your own way type of thing, but it tastes great when you have the apple cider, and 100% cranberry juice. Enjoy ”
