PONCHE RECIPE

There are variations to make Ponche as households.

The easy version is pour the content of a bag of dried fruit such as the one in the picture (this one includes: apple, sugar cane, papaya, raisins, prunes, manzanilla, guayaba, piña, plátano, tamarind, cinnamon and hibiscus) in a pot with 3lt of cold water, 2 cups of sugar and bring to boil. Cover and let it slow cook for 30 minutes. Serve hot with rum (the latter is my suggestion) drink in a cold winter day.
