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

Method

  • 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
