- Number of Servings: 20
Ingredients
6 Medium Apples, fresh with skin 2 Medium Oranges 2 Cups Granulated Sugar 25 Whole Clove 4 Quarts Hard Apple Cider 1 Cup Brandy 10 Allspice Berries 2 tsp Grated Nutmeg 4 Cinnamon Sticks 12 Large Eggs, separated 2 tsp Grated Ginger
Preheat oven to 350.
Core the apples almost all the way through. Leave a little apple at the bottom--you're trying to make a little apple pouch.
Fill each apple with a tablespoon of sugar and place them on buttered baking sheet.
Press cloves into 2 oranges and place oranges on baking sheet.
Bake oranges and apples for 45 minutes.
Pour cider and brandy into a thick-bottomed stock pot and warm over low heat. Whisk in ginger and nutmeg. DO NOT BRING TO BOIL.
Add cinnamon sticks and allspice berries. (Note: do not use ground spices.)
Beat egg yolks until they turn a lemony-yellow color. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold egg yolks into egg whites & then pour a cup of the cider/brandy mixture into the eggs in a steady stream.
Pour the egg mixture into the cider and brandy mixture. Transfer the new mixture into a punch bowl and add apples and oranges.
Serve your wassail!
