Persephone's Punch
This one makes a great center piece for your table as well as a handy punch bowl! You can use a black marker to paint a jack-o-lantern face on the front, I rather not.
INGREDIENTS
1 hollowed and well cleaned pumpkin
2 oranges
Whole cloves
6 cups apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 1/4 cups pineapple juice
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stud the whole oranges with cloves, spacing them about two inches apart and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the apple juice and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the nutmeg, honey, lemon juice and pineapple juice.
3. Serve hot in a punch bowl with the 2 clove-studded baked oranges floating on top. To serve in the hollow pumpkin, you may want to cool it first so it doesn't cook the inside of the pumpkin.
Add spiced rum to really loosen up a crowd!
Who the hell is
