Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lemon
1 navel orange
1 (750-ml) bottle dry red wine
1/2 cup sugar
3 whole cloves
1 (1-inch) cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 green cardamom pod
1 thin slice fresh ginger
1/2 cup Tawny Port
1/2 cup aquavit
1/4 cup kirsch
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 to 1 cup raisins (to taste)

Steps:

  • Remove zest from lemon and orange with a vegetable peeler, reserving fruit for another use.
  • Heat half bottle of red wine, sugar, zests, spices, and ginger in a 2-quart saucepan over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, until just barely simmering (do not boil). Simmer gently 10 minutes, then cool. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl.
