Except for using cranberry-pomegranate juice, I made this recipe as given & we were very happy with the results! I like to make wassail off & on between Hallowe'en & New Year's Day, & yours was especially comforting! Thanks for the nice keeper recipe! [Made & reviewed in the current Let's P-A-R-T-Y! event]

Yule Hot Spiced Wassail by Danielle K. Recipe # 191085 Simmering the mixture for several hours made our house smell so very delightful. It really puts you in the Christmas spirit. However, the taste seemed a little on the bitter side to me. My friend was wondering if there might have been too much cinnamon in it. I had a similar recipe years ago, and the cinnamon sticks were about half the size of the 6 inch sticks that our one and only grocery store currently had on hand. I’m going to try this recipe again and use half as much cinnamon. I’m glad that I tried this recipe for Let’s PARTY. Thanks for sharing!

Very tasty and comforting! Just the right amount of spice. I left out the brown sugar, as we prefer it less sweet. I made mine in my crockpot on high for 4 hours. House smelled great when we came in from hanging Christmas lights, and the cider warmed us right up! Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y! December Cooking Event
