Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
- Stir together and make sure the piloncillo has completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
- Serve immediately in mugs with the cooked pieces of fruit. If desired, stir in a splash of rum or brandy.
Notes
- Customize the fruit. You can adjust the fruits based on your preferences, use different apples, add more pears, etc.
- Add more traditional fruits. Authentic Mexican ponche also includes fruits like tejocotes, quince, and sugar cane sticks. These items are seasonal during the wintertime and can often be found at a local Mexican grocery store.
- Sweetness. The ponche may be more or less sweet depending on the sweetness of the fruit itself. To add more sweetness, stir in ¼ cup of dark brown sugar or more as needed.
