ponche recipe

Ponche Navideño is a hot punch served with or without alcohol during the holiday season and most generally during Las Posadas. On those chilly nights, this warm and fragrant infusion warms you from the inside out.

Ponche Navideño (Mexican Christmas Fruit Punch)

water

cinnamon

cloves

½ pound tejocotes or crab apples (left whole)

guavas

red apples

pear

prunes

raisins

orange (sliced)

cone piloncillo (chopped or 1 cup dark brown sugar)

brandy

In a large pot, over high heat, boil water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, tamarind, and tejocotes. After it starts to boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the tejocotes are soft.

Remove the tejocotes from the heat, peel, remove hard ends, cut in half, and deseed. Return them to the pot.

Add guavas, apples, pears, sugar cane, prunes, orange slices, and piloncillo.

Simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring gently. Discard cinnamon sticks and cloves.

Ladle into cups, making sure each cup gets some chunks of fruit.

Add brandy or tequila to each cup (optional).
