NEW GINGER WINE - CHRISTMAS & HOLIDAY GINGER WINE



New Ginger Wine - Christmas & Holiday Ginger Wine image

I haven't had traditional ginger wine, but I decided to make a sort of infused ginger wine of my own, and the below is what I came up with. I tried it tonight, and YUM! :) Traditional ginger wine, produced before the holidays from scratch, is popular in some parts of England and Scotland. While this version isn't exactly traditional, this is a tasty addition to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays! Prep time includes letting it sit before serving.

Time P1DT5m

Yield 1 750ml bottle, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon rind (zest of 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (750 ml) bottle white wine
1/3 cup honey or 1/3 cup golden syrup, to taste
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup raisins, chopped roughly (can use mixture of regular and golden raisings)
1 ounce brandy or 1 ounce cognac, to taste

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon zest and juice, wine, honey or golden syrup, ginger, and raisins.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high, stirring constantly until the honey or golden syrup is melted, which will take about 4 minutes, but do not allow to boil.
  • Add the brandy or Cognac and place into glass container.
  • Refrigerate at least one day (or two, to taste), then strain the wine and serve in small glasses; it will be slightly cloudy but very tasty and very good for helping digest those large dinners everybody had!
  • Note: honey and golden syrup have different tastes, and I like both. It's nice to have the both versions of the wine with made, for different folks' tastes!

This is a spicy, sweet holiday wine inspired by my trip to Germany, where a similar drink is a traditional part of winter celebrations.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 oranges
2 (750 milliliter) bottles red wine
1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine
1 (3 inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cinnamon sticks
½ teaspoon ground cloves
⅓ cup brown sugar, or to taste
¼ cup brandy

Steps:

  • Use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the oranges in strips, being careful to remove only the orange part, leaving the pith behind. Then, juice the oranges into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Pour the red wine and white wine into the pot with the orange juice. Place the strips of orange zest, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and brown sugar into the pot with the wine mixture; stir to dissolve the sugar.
  • Cover and heat over medium-high until heated through, but not boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and heat for an hour or longer to bring all of the flavors together. Adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar, as necessary. Strain and serve hot with a splash of brandy, if desired.
