Harriet's Hot Wassail for Christmas (Deep Pink color)
1 lg bottle cranapple juice
1 lg can pineapple juice
2 to 3 peppermints
1 doz. whole cloves
1 orange, peeled into a cube and sliced
cinnamon stick (optional)
pineapple ring (optional)
Slice the orange cube along the horizontal – so that membranes look like spokes of a wheel. Stick cloves decoratively into 3 or 4 of those slices. Blend juices together, drop peppermints and optional cinnamon stick in (children adore doing this part), float orange slices on top, along with optional pineapple ring. Bring to a boil (microwaving is fine and gets out of the way of the busy stove). Keep warm, have ladle handy
