Mexican Ponche - Hot or cold fruit punch

Mexican Ponche is a warm and comforting fruit punch made with apples, hawthorn, oranges, guavas, pineapple, plum, raisins and spiced with cinnamon, cloves, hibiscus, anise, and sweetest with Piloncillo(pure sugar cane) typically served at Christmas time.

Pour the entire jar content into a pot with 4-10 cups of water. If you would like the ponche sweeter, use a fruit juice like apple or pineapple. Boil for 10 Minutes or until the Piloncillo solid liquefies - and enjoy! Eat the delicious fruit as you drink it.

Can be SPIKED! with Tequila or mescal.

This is a hot drink like a hot cider. If you drink the liquid but still have the fruit, add a few more cups of water, boil, and make more Ponche. Sweeten to taste with sugar or sugar substitute like agave.
