Best 7 Copycat Dollywood Holiday Wassail Recipes

HOLIDAY WASSAIL WITH ALCOHOL

Steps:

• In one saucepan, heat: 1 gallon unfiltered apple cider and 2 cups baked (peeled apples) cut into medium small pieces
• In another saucepan, boil for 5 minutes: water, sugar, nutmeg, ginger, mace, cloves, allspice berries and cinnamon sticks.
• In another saucepan, boil: cream sherry and brandy.
• In a small mixing bowl, mix until firm - stiff but not dry: 3 egg whites.
• In a large mixing bowl - mix until creamy: 3 egg yokes - light in color.
• Now fold egg whites into egg yokes and add spice mixture a little at a time, stirring constantly.
• Next add booze
• Next add cider mixture.
• Serve warm. I've served it in a punch bowl and in a large pot on the stove. Right before serving, I usually take out the allspice berries and cloves so people don't choke on them. If I find out that the wassail has cooled down, I re-heat it.

HOLIDAY CLASSIC WASSAIL

Steps:

• Place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice in the center of a large paper coffee filter. Fold the ends over and roll up burrito-style. Tie closed with dental floss or thread, leaving long ends.
• Mix apple juice concentrate with water as directed on can (you should end up with 6 cups of juice).
• In a saucepan combine apple juice, cranberry juice, sugar, and bitters. Bring to a boil. Tie the ends of the "spice bag" string to the middle of a wooden spoon and lay the spoon over the top of the pot so that the "spice bag" hangs in the juice without touching the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat and simmer at least 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add rum.
• Once I've made the wassail and added the rum, I pour this into a crock pot on low temp so that the warm wassail can be served up throughout the evening!

WASSEL ( WASSAIL )

Steps:

• Mix both juices, water and brown sugar into the bottom of a perculator.
• Place all the spices into the top.
• Perculate according to the directions of your pot.
• You could also tie the spices up in cheese cloth and simmer in a pot on the stove if you don't have a perculator.
• This could also be made in a crock pot.

CHRISTMAS WASSAIL

Steps:

• Stud the oranges with the whole cloves and bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• On top of the stove, heat the cider and cinnamon sticks until almost boiling.
• Pour the hot cider into a large punch bowl. Add the studded oranges. Add the brandy to taste -- the more the merrier!
• To replenish wassail, just add more heated cider and more brandy. The longer the oranges sit in the punch, the more orange flavor there is to it.
