Ingredients:
-2 quarts or so of sweet apple cider
-1 pint or so of cranberry juice
-3/4 cup of brown sugar
-a couple of good dashes of aromatic bitters
-2 to 3 sticks of cinnamon
-1 teaspoon of allspice
-1 small orange studded with whole cloves
-1 cup or so of dark rum (Myers's Original Dark)
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in a crock pot.
2. Top off within 1 inch of rim with cider, cranberry juice, and rum.
3. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour (too long will cook oils out of orange and will make wassail bitter).
4. Cook on low for at least 4 hours (best if left overnight).
"I like to fish out the orange, cool it and slice in half to squeeze out the juice. Then I throw the whole mess back into the pot."
