Boilo Recipe Apple Pie

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle any inexpensive blended whisky or Four Queens whiskey (750 ml)
  • 4 whole oranges
  • 4 whole lemons
  • 2 cups honey
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 tbsp dark raisins
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp whole allspice berries
  • 12 whole cloves
  • 1 lt ginger ale OR orange juice or apple juice  water (your choice)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the lemons and oranges into quarters and squeeze them to release the juice into the pot.  Add the unpeeled squeezed fruit into the pot too. Add orange, apple juice or ginger ale, or water to the pot.  Add all the other ingredients but leave the whiskey.
  • Bring this mixture to a boil and reduce the heat allowing it to slowly simmer as you stir frequently for about 25 minutes.
  • When the fruits become soft and mushy from cooking, strain your liquid through a fine mesh and remove the solid pieces and discard them.  You may also use cheesecloth if you don't have a mesh cloth.
  • Allow the mixture to cool down slightly before adding the whiskey.  Once cooled add your whiskey and stir well to blend.
  • Serve your boilo warm or slightly cold depending on how you love it.  If it cools down you can re-warm in the microwave.
  • Keep the remaining drink in the refrigerator or store it in a cool dry place in a tightly closed jar.
