Okay hereās the deal. Iām going to revive the old family recipe for Wassail this year. Its done in a slow cooker. It stays warm throughout the multiple viewings of the Christmas epic Love Actually.
The volume of Wassail necessitates the use of the big mama of the crockpot arsenal I have downstairs in storage. Here is the recipe in case youāre interested.
4 cups apple juice
2 cups cranberry juice
4 cups orange juice
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon Jalapeno honey
2 teaspoons whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
6 1ā pieces of ginger
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
Cook for six hours. Then run it through a strainer that is suspended over a pitcher as often as needed to flush the cloves, sticks, and any seeds that are present. Return the strained mixture to the crockpot and put on low until all is consumed. Serve over a simple syrup or more honey.
Anyway...
Youāve got to stir it a few times during the 6 hour process. To stir it you have to remove the lid. To remove the lid, you have to grab the handle. The handle is broken. The lid is glass and the handle is plastic. I need to connect the two. The threads of the inside of the handle are broken and there is this 3/16ā thread sticking up
This is a representation.
Anyway, I need to reconnect the red part to the glass and Iām thinking glue is the way to go. Does anyone know a good heat resistant glue? I donāt think toxicity is a problem.
The lid doesnāt get too too hot but itās a crock pot so there is some moderate sustained heat involved.
