Hot Christmas Punch
- 1/2 gallon hibiscus tea simmered with sugar to taste, 3 cloves, 1 star anise, and 1 cardamom pod
- 15 tejocotes, halved
- 9 guavas, halved
- 2 tamarind pods, exterior skin removed
- 2 apples, quartered
- 2 pears, quartered
- 20 raisins
- 6 prunes
- A foot and a half fresh sugar cane, peel removed, sliced in spears
- 1 piloncillo brown sugar cone
- Put all in Crock-Pot and simmer overnight. Serve in punch cups or mugs. Can strain off stewed fruit or serve with pieces of fruit.
- Guava seeds can be annoying with their hard crunch, but if you remove them from the fruit, you loose a lot of the flesh that adds flavor to this punch. If they annoy you, strain off the stewed fruit, squishing out all the good juices, and serve.
