Description

Ingredients

• 1 bottle of your favorite red wine (I went with Woodwork Pinot Noir because of its Caramel and Nutmeg Notes..perfect for my spice combination!)
• 32 oz jar of pure cranberry juice (R. W. Knudsen if you can find it)
• 1.5 cups of fresh apple cider
• 1/2 a bag of fresh cranberries, rinsed
• 1.25 cups of sugar (or more to taste)
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 1 whole nutmeg, halved
• 50 whole cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice berries
• 2 oranges
• 1 apple
• 1 pear

Directions

• 1. Slice one orange in half and stud it with the whole cloves.
• 2. In a large pot (I used my crock pot) over high heat, add the cranberry juice, apple cider, sugar, fresh cranberries, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, orange halves studded with cloves and allspice berries.
• 3. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook until all cranberries have popped. Stir often.
• 4. Once all of the cranberries have popped, turn off the heat and let cool to about room temperature.
• 5. Dice up the remaining fruit (peel and section the orange).
• 6. Place cut up fruit in a serving pitcher.
• 7. Add in the cranberry juice mixture to the pitcher.
• 8. Add the wine to the pitcher and stir to combine.
• 9. Taste to see if you need to add any more sugar.
• 10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• 11. Serve in your favorite wine glasses with some ice. Strain the liquid into the glasses. Garnish with some of the fruit from the pitcher. Enjoy!
