Mulled Over
Ingredients:
- 1 large orange
- 2 cardamom pods
- 6 whole cloves
- 6 allspice berries
- 6 whole black peppercorns
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 bottle (3 cups) red wine
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup spiced rum
- 1/3 cup Bathtub Gin Rum Raisin-Mission Fig Jam
Directions:
With a fine grater, zest, then juice the orange. Next use the flat side of a knife to bruise the cardamom pods. In a large pot (not aluminum), combine zest, cardamom, cloves, allspice, peppercorns, cinnamon, wine, sugar, spiced rum and Rum Raisin-Mission Fig Spread. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; simmer until flavors have melded, about 30 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve and serve.
