Can't you see the Thiebaud house full of greenery, ribbons, and children excited for Victorian Christmas all those years ago? And their parents enjoying Wassail!! Thank you for this great recipe! ❤😊 (I live near Troy, NY where Clement Moore was believed to have written the poem.)
Wow, that is so neat, Heather! And yes, it must have been amazing. I believe they are going to have a Christmas tree this weekend, we are going to try to stop by on our way to Venoge!
Christmas isn’t Christmas without some warm spiced alcohol. This drink is also known as lambswool, possibly because the roasted apples, once peeled, had a fluffy texture. The Victorians preferred to add toasted bread, immortalised in the lyrics of the Gloucestershire wassail song: Wassail, wassail all over the town Our toast it is white, and our ale it is brown! A version of this song was even recorded by the band Blur!
The British way of Wassail. use a red wine. Place your apples in the wine. Place apples and wine on the fire bring to a simmer. Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until the apples are soft. Remove from the fire. Pour the wine and apples into the beer. Add your spices to the mixture. Let sit for at least 6 to 8 hours or over night. When you are ready to serve place mixture in front of the fire to warm the mixture up. Add your lemon slices. Serve. This is not for kids or adults under the age of 21. If you want a even more taste full drink add orange slices.
While they were in the Wassail they were really great. They were so well baked they sort of start to disentegrate in there so you get some in your glass, which was tasty! So I would leave them in as long as you are serving it.

"Christmas isn’t Christmas without some warm spiced alcohol." 💯Also I love that song
Well, I see 1827 wassail in Stephenson House's future...fits right in with our time period. Thank you for sharing this. 😊

@@amyliebert Thank you! It’s always good to slow down for a few minutes during this busy season.😃
Half a nutmeg! You could have hallucinations with that! Might even see St. Nick. :-)
I think Townsend would beg to differ!

Sounds delicious!
Wonderful content as always. I do love recipes from that pre 1860, early Victorian era. This one is definitely one I'd like to try. :)
Let me know how you like it!
A very familiar set ^^ Love it.
Was fun to get to work in there!
Thank you for connecting us!
Did the receipt specify "fresh" ginger? Otherwise, maybe it should be the dried ground ginger.
It says to grate the ginger so they're probably implying fresh. What it does for the drink is amazing- definitely don't hold back!
What did you do with the apples? Do those get thrown away or do you eat them??
Unfortunately, we were fighting daylight on this shoot and they got pitched in the process of packing up :(
@@TheVictorianBarroom I'm thinking I will probably eat them when I make this! I'll bet they would be good wrapped in some pie crust...
