Mexican punch recipe?

Question

I want to make a punch that my boyfriend has been telling me about. He is from mexico and it is a fruited punch and he says they use sugar cane in it if that helps any. It can be made with or without alchohol but it is served cold. Someone he knows made us some and he brought it home but it was gross, she boild the fruit and didn't strain it out and it didn't have a good flavor. If anyone knows a good recipe for this I would appreciate it!!

Answer 1

Hot mexican christmas fruit punch

3 lbs small crabapples (tejocotes)

2 lbs peeled sugar cane, in chunks

3 lbs golden delicious apples

3 cups brown sugar, adapt to taste

2 lbs pitted prunes

30 g cinnamon sticks

1 orange rind, without whitish underskin, in small squares

2 whole cloves

20 tamarind pulp, pods peeled (or 20 jamaica flowers)

In another pot, preferrably of Mexican clay pottery, pour the 6 litters of water and turn heat to high.

Meanwhile peel and chunk the sugar cane.

When the water has begun boiling put in the peeled and pitted crab apples and the chunked sugar cane and simmer for 45 minutes.

Also chunk the golden delicious apples and the peeled guavas and add to the brew. Simmer for another 30 minutes.

Add the sugar and on the next boil, add the.

orange peel bits and the cinnamon, the prunes and the cloves. Simmmer until cinnamon and cloves release their flavor and just before serving add rum to taste.

Serve hot.

Optional: You can add a couple of slices of drained canned peaches when serving
