Best Mulled Wine Cranberry Jam Recipes

Slow Cooker Cranberry-Orange Mulled Wine image

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 750 ml bottle of Merlot or another fruity (but not too sweet!) red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel
2 cups orange juice (I either like squeezing my own or buying a 100% pure fresh-squeezed version)
1 cup fresh or frozen whole cranberries (rinsed and picked through)
1/3 cup granulated sugar plus more to taste
1 medium orange (I like to use an organic orange for recipes like this because it will be soaking in the beverage, peel and all)
2 tablespoons whole cloves
2 3-inch cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup brandy
Garnishes (if desired: cinnamon sticks, orange slices, and/or fresh cranberries threaded onto a cocktail pick)

Steps:

Add wine, orange juice, cranberries, and sugar to a 3-quart or larger Crock Pot. Stir to help sugar begin to dissolve.
Wash orange thoroughly and stud the orange with the cloves - just stick the cloves directly into the peel, pointy end first. I like to poke it all over with a toothpick first to make holes for the cloves.
Add the clove-studded orange and the cinnamon sticks to the wine.
Cook on low for 2 - 3 hours, or until the berries are tender. You can cook it for an hour or two longer if you wish, but take care that it doesn't boil.
Remove the orange and the cinnamon sticks, then VERY CAREFULLY pour the mulled wine through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heat-proof bowl. Using the back of the spoon, press on the cranberries to get all of the juices into the bowl. A berry or two may burst, so watch out!
Return wine to the Crock Pot and stir in the brandy. Taste and add additional sugar until it's just sweet enough. I like it just past the pucker point; you may prefer a sweeter mulled wine.
Ladle into mugs and serve with a cinnamon stick, an orange slice, and/or fresh cranberries pushed onto a cocktail stick, if desired.
Keep your Crock Pot on the "warm" setting to keep the wine nice and hot. If your Crock Pot doesn't have a warm setting, try alternating between "low" and off.

Categories dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups fresh cranberries
2 1/2 cups red wine (any red wine is fine, but do shy away from one with too much alcohol, as it may affect the freezing process)
4 whole allspice
2 cinnamon sticks
2 whole cloves
1 orange, zest peeled in strips and juice
1 vanilla bean

Steps:

Combine the cranberries, red wine, 2 1/2 cups water, allspice, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla bean in a saucepot. Cook over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes. The cranberries will have become very soft and the liquid will be reduced by about 20-percent.
Strain the mixture through a sieve fine enough to catch the spices, pushing lightly to extract some of the cranberry pulp. Chill the sorbet mixture thoroughly and spin in an ice cream maker until frozen.
