How to Make Holiday Apricot Wassail

  1. Combine 1 cup dried apricots and 1 cup apple juice in a blender or food processor; blend until completely smooth.
  2. Place 6 whole cloves and 2 cinnamon sticks in a cheesecloth bag or spice infuser. Secure tightly.
  3. In a slow cooker, combine the apricot puree, apple juice (remaining 2 cups), orange juice (1 cup), orange zest (1 tbsp), lemon juice (1/4 cup), honey (1/2 cup), and the cheesecloth spice bag.
  4. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the flavors have melded beautifully. Stir occasionally.

  6. Garnish with orange slices or cinnamon sticks (optional).
