Holiday Wassail

2 c apple juice
2 sticks cinnamon
1/2 c lemon juice
1 1/2 c cranberry juice
2 tsp candied ginger
1 c orange juice
1 c pineapple juice
1 tsp whole cloves
1 1/2 c sugar syrup

Combine all juices. Tie the spices in a cloth bag and add to the juices. Boil 5 minutes. Serve hot from beautiful bowl surrounded by greenery. Serves 8.

Note from Grandmother Brandt:
I would not boil all the juices as too much would escape in steam. Boil whatever is necessary with the spices and just add the other juices til they are hot.

Note from Dodo:
3 large naval oranges
whole cloves
cinnamon sticks

Preheat oven to 350. Wash and dry oranges. Insert cloves into the oranges at 1/2 inch intervals. Place in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Pierce oranges in several places with a sharp knife. Float in punch.

Pralines

1 box light brown sugar 1 small can undiluted evaporated milk 2 TBS Karo 2 TBS water 1/2 stick butter (frozen)* 1 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 c pecan halves Boil together sugar, milk, water and Karo until soft ball is formed when tested in cold water.  Remove from heat.  Add butter.  Cool.  Add vanilla and beat until creamy.  Add pecans and drop by spoonfuls on was paper. *Note from Kathy: the recipe says to cool after the butter; however, if you use frozen butter you shouldn't need to wait.  Add the whole piece of frozen butter and keep stirring until melted. Note from Melanie: The picture of the praline I used was NOT made with frozen butter and I let it cool a little.  This seemed to make the candy a little thicker and not wanting to drop and spread as easily.  Since I didn't listen to the butter advice, I ended up pressing them between wax paper.  Also, they look a little shiny in the pic because they're not totally cool yet. ...
