Mexican Christmas Punch (Ponche Navideno) image

Provided by FOODBEAST

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 whole cloves
2 navel oranges
6 Mexican hawthorns (tejocotes)
12 cups water
¼ cup dried hibiscus petals (flor de jamaica)
3 cinnamon sticks
2 Granny Smith apples, sliced
1 sugar cane stick, cut into 4-inch pieces
1 pear, sliced
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
12 fluid ounces rum

Steps:

Stud each orange with 6 whole cloves, using the pointed ends of the cloves to pierce the skin. Cut oranges into wedges. Reserve 12 wedges for garnish. Cut some slits into each hawthorn.
Bring water, hibiscus petals, and cinnamon sticks to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until water is a deep pink color, 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove hibiscus petals but leave cinnamon sticks in the water to infuse further. Stir in orange wedges, hawthorns, apples, sugar cane, pear, and brown sugar. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.
Ladle the punch into 12 mugs, making sure each mug gets some slices of fruit. Add 1 fluid ounce rum to each mug to give the punch an extra kick. Garnish mugs with reserved orange slices.
