Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the apples into an 8 by 8-inch glass baking dish. Spoon the brown sugar into the center of each apple, dividing the sugar evenly among them. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish and bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
- Pour the ale and Madeira into a large slow cooker. Put the cloves, allspice, and cinnamon into a small muslin bag or cheesecloth, tied with kitchen twine, and add to the slow cooker along with the ginger and nutmeg. Set the slow cooker to medium heat and bring the mixture to at least 120 degrees F. Do not boil.
- Add the egg whites to a medium bowl and using a hand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form. Put the egg yolks into a separate bowl and beat until lightened in color and frothy, approximately 2 minutes. Add the egg whites to the yolks and using the hand mixer, beat, just until combined. Slowly add 4 to 6 ounces of the alcohol mixture from the slow cooker to the egg mixture, beating with the hand mixer on low speed. Return this mixture to the slow cooker and whisk to combine.
- Add the apples and the liquid from the baking dish to the wassail and stir to combine. Ladle into cups and serve.

CIDER WASSAIL
This traditional wassail recipe came from a dear friend in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where we lived for many years. Since it's warm, wonderful and non-alcoholic, we've even served it at church. This wassail drink is also perfect for a holiday open house. -Maryellen Hays, Wolcottville, Indiana

COLONIAL FOOD - WHAT DID THE COLONISTS OF EARLY AMERICA EAT
17 COLONIAL FOOD ITEMS WE'RE GLAD WE NEVER HAD TO TASTE
From soyummy.com
Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
- Corn, Corn, and More Corn. The native populations of the Americas began farming corn — originally called maize — in about 7,000 BC. It was more than just a sustaining crop.
- Pepper Cake. Martha Washington made the Pepper Cake famous back in the mid-1700s. The colonies had recently been introduced to the pepper spice via trade with India.
- Game. Venison, duck, rabbit, turkey, and goose were all delectable meats found in the forests around the colonies. In fact, settlers who ate this game frequently considered themselves extremely lucky.
- Beaver. Yes, beaver could be considered game meat and was a part of a colonial diet. Originally, that was the animal’s only purpose to settlers. However, when the fur trade began in the later part of the 17th century, beaver became a hot commodity.
- Pumpkins and Squash. The Native Americans introduced a variety of different squashes and pumpkins to the English settlers upon their arrival. Corn, beans, and squash are referred to as the Three Sisters in many native cultures.
- Oats, Barley, and Rice. Similar to corn, oat, barley, and rice crops were essential to both early settlers and Native American survival. In fact, sustaining life may have been impossible without these particular crops.
- “Ambergris” Ambergris is actually just a fancy name for whale vomit. Yup, that’s right. Colonists in the 18th century were mad about the stuff once the whaling industry in New England started booming.
- Livestock. Once colonists got their footing in the Americas, they began importing livestock from England. Hardly any animal was too big. Cows, pigs, poultry, and horses all arrived on ships to the colonies.
- Tea. The colonists imported their tea through Britain until 1773, which is when they dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. Who doesn’t remember that historical moment?
- Eel. New England colonists were just as crazy about eel as they were about ambergris. And they spared no effort to catch their meal. In fact, colonists would set lobster traps to snag eels (lobster was nowhere near as popular as it is now), and housewives would bake the eels into savory eel pies.
