Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 quarts of water (1 gallon)
1 large piloncillo cone ((or 12 oz. of brown sugar))
3 cinnamon sticks
1 lb Tejocotes* (SEE NOTES)
1½ Lb. guavas (about 12 guavas)
3/4 cup prunes (chopped)
1½ cup apples (chopped)
1 cup pear (chopped)
½ cup raisins
3 sugar cane sticks, about 5-in. long (cut into four pieces each)
1 cup of Tamarind pods (peeled (or 1 cup of Hibiscus Flowers)***)
Rum to taste

Steps:

Place water in a large stockpot.
Add the piloncillo (or brown sugar) and cinnamon to cook for about 15 minutes. If you are using fresh Tejocotes, add them with the piloncillo and cinnamon, since they take longer to soften. Ponche Navideno
Add the chopped guavas, apples, and prunes along with the rest of the ingredients like the sugar cane sticks, tamarind pods or hibiscus flowers. If you are using the canned version of the tejocotes, then add them in this step.
Simmer for about 1 hour. Serve hot in mugs, ladling in some of the fruit and adding rum to your liking.
