Traditional Mulled Wine In The Crock Pot Recipes

SLOW-COOKER MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Wrap the cloves, star anise and cinnamon in a small square of cheesecloth and secure it with kitchen twine.
• Combine the wine, sugar if using, orange zest, orange juice, rosemary and the spice pouch in a slow cooker. Cook on low heat until hot, about 1 hour. Adjust the slow cooker to the "warm" setting. Serve in mugs with a rosemary sprig as garnish.

SLOW COOKER MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients (except the slices of orange) in a slow cooker on low for 1 1/2 - 2hrs until hot. Ladle into heatproof glasses and serve with slices of orange. Using the 'keep warm' setting (if your cooker has one) will ensure the mulled wine stays hot during the party.

TRADITIONAL MULLED WINE IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Make the tea. Let it steep and cool slightly. Add to crock pot. (I added about 4 cups).
• Cut the lemons and oranges into slices. Add the red wine. Add the brandy (cognac could be substituted).
• Add sugar to taste.
• Add cinnamon sticks and cloves.
• Heat in the crock pot for approximately 3 hours, or until warmed. (I was turning the pot on/off when the wine got too hot/cold during the evening).
• Note: Never let the wine mixture boil, or it will spoil. I used home made wine that our friend had given us. I used Ginger Tea, but any herbal tea could be used ~ or ~ for a different taste, use orange or pineapple juice.

• Combine red wine, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, lemon peel, and orange peel in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Heat gently, but don't boil. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar, and once dissolved, taste to see if you'd like to add more.
• Keep hot on medium to low heat for 20 minutes to let the flavors infuse the wine. Serve your mulled wine hot in glasses or mugs.
