CIDER WASSAIL

This traditional wassail recipe came from a dear friend in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where we lived for many years. Since it's warm, wonderful and non-alcoholic, we've even served it at church. This wassail drink is also perfect for a holiday open house. -Maryellen Hays, Wolcottville, Indiana

WASSAIL

Here is the the beauty of wassail: more than just another nice-tasting drink, it's part of a long (if largely forgotten) tradition of celebrating the life that winter can seem determined to snuff out. It's a fragrant, warming concoction mixed in bulk (this recipe makes 12 servings) and set out for sharing, all but demanding that you call in a crowd. There's really no such thing as wassail for one. A punch bowl is good for this, although you can also ladle it into individual cups. (The New York Times)
