Author Notes
I love the combination of spiced, sweetend red wine and tart cranberries. I like the fact that you can make it ahead of time as well —Kitchen Butterfly
Ingredients
-
120ml
Red wine ( I used a young, fruity wine)
-
80g
(Light brown) sugar
-
1
Vanilla pod, seeds scraped out and pod reserved
-
1
Cinnamon stick
-
2-3
Whole black peppercorns
-
2
Whole cloves
-
rind
from 1/2 an orange in thick strips
-
150g
whole (frozen) cranberries
-
Juice from 1/2 an orange
Directions
-
Make mulled wine syrup by mixing all the ingredients except the cranberries in a saucepan. Heat on low-medium and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Let simmer for 5 minutes. Then remove all the spices (cloves, cinnamon, vanilla pods, orange rind)
-
Add cranberries to the mulled wine mixture and let simmer in a closed pan till the cranberries burst and soften (7-8 minutes or longer)
-
When the cranberries are burst and have softened, take off the heat and pour in the orange juice. Stir well to combine and pot in clean (sterilised) jars. Makes about 1/2 a cup
