How to Make Holiday Wassail

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the sliced apples, oranges, lemons, water, cranberry juice, maple syrup, cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, star anise, and allspice berries.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  3. Remove from heat. Carefully strain the wassail through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  4. Return the strained wassail to the pot and gently reheat if desired. Serve warm.
  5. Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
