This is a great way to serve wassail for a group of good friends; the apples are a terrific addition but not necessary, and the recipe is easily halved. If you have leftover wassail, reheat it gently in the microwave.

Categories     Punch Beverage

Time 1h20m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups apple juice
2/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup seedless raisin
2 quarts red wine
2 cinnamon sticks
24 whole cloves
6 apples, cored
18 tablespoons white sugar
whole cloves

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or kettle, combine the apple juice, sugar, almonds and raisins; slowly stir in the red wine.
  • Take a large piece of cheesecloth and place the cinnamon sticks and 24 whole cloves on it; with string, tie it up to make a small bundle and drop this into the red wine mixture.
  • Heat slowly over low heat; don't let it boil.
  • Meanwhile, make this unique garnish: stuff the centre of each apple with 3 tbsp sugar and stick each apple with a few whole cloves.
  • Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and place the apples in it; bake, covered, at 350F for 45 minutes.
  • Bake the apples about an hour or so before you want to serve the wassail.
  • Pour the heated wassail into a large punch bowl, discarding the spice bag, and then add the baked apples; they are a treat for those still around when the wassail is gone!

I tried this recipe and it turned out great! The wassail was delicious. I used a dry red wine and it gave the drink a nice tart flavor. I also added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.
