Homemade Autumn Wassail – No Alcohol
Cook up this delicious apple cider based autumn wassail for all the fall flavor but none of the alcohol!
For us pregnant ladies looking to enjoy the traditional drinks of autumn and winter, it feels a bit disappointing to miss out on the mulled wines, hot toddies, and wassails! Am I right? So on our recent trip to Big Ridge State Park for a little fall getaway, I made myself a big batch of this autumn wassail to heat up and enjoy while the rest of our party indulged in scotch and brandy.
This is a really simple wassail that goes together in a matter of minutes. You can make it in a large pot on the stove or pull out your crockpot for a big party. It's perfect as a punch this holiday season, and you can even add bourbon to it individually if you are able to indulge.
