Cranberry Wassail

Great to warm up with while sitting around the campfire!

Made what I consider to be classic wassail for last fall's camping trip which was fantastic, but wanted to try something new this year.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups apple cider
• 4 cups orange juice
• 4 cups cranberry juice
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 2 fresh ginger pieces (opps, only in re-writing this did I realize I missed this ingredient, but I want to remember it next time so I am still writing it here)
• 2 tsp whole cloves
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1 orange, sliced
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• Brandy

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except brandy in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours (I only had time to do 4 and it still tasted good - I assume I would have gotten more cinnamon and clove flavor had I let it cook longer.
2. Reheat over campfire in pot, if you are camping.  Otherwise serve warm out of slow cooker.
3. Pour into glass and add brandy to taste.
