Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Pour cranberry juice into a large saucepan. Add honey, apricots, cranberries, raisins, cloves, nutmeg, and 2 cinnamon sticks. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Strain juice and discard fruit, cloves and 2 cinnamon sticks.
To serve, ladle warm wassail into cups and garnish each cup with a cinnamon stick. Can be made 24 hours ahead, strain, refrigerate and re-warm (do not boil) when ready to serve.
Yields: 8 (1 cup) servings
