DAWN'S MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Put red wine, orange pieces, cinnamon sticks & bay leaf in a pan.
• Warm but do not boil. Keep warm for 5 - 10 mins to let flavours infuse.
• When warm add brown sugar to required sweetness.
• Add the brandy or rum for a little 'oomph'.

MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Put sugar and water in a 5 quart heavy pot over medium-high heat and stir until all of the sugar dissolves. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod and add it to the pot along with the vanilla bean and rosemary. Slowly simmer for an additional 5 minutes at very low heat.
• Meanwhile, in a piece of cheesecloth place the cinnamon, cardamom and cloves in the center. Pull the four ends together and tie kitchen string around it to make a small pouch. Make sure to leave enough string to tie around the outside handle on the pot for easy removal. Add the spice pouch, wine, brandy and cut fruit. Let it simmer on low for about 1 hour. Never let it boil. Serve warm.
