Article ToolsThis punch is named after the old Norse toast meaning 'be in good health'. This is made with a slow cooker (crock pot). You could also make it on the stovetop - and double (or more) the ingredients. Here is the recipe for Holiday Wassail Punch.
1 cup water
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 can (6 ounce) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 cups apple cider or juice
2 bottles (12 ounces each bottle) ale
3/4 cup Captain Morgan's spiced rum
1 medium-size orange, sliced
Combine the water and brown sugar in a 3 1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker and stir to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the lemonade concentrate. Stir in the apple juice and ale. Cover and cook on Low for 2 hours.
Just before serving, stir in the rum. Float the orange slices in the wassail and serve hot. This makes about 2 quarts.
