PREP TIME: 15 minutesCOOK TIME: 1 TOTAL TIME: 1 hours 15 minutes
SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 1 bottle Harry & David Pinot Noir
- 1 ½ cups apple cider
- 1 cup orange juice
- 12 cup brandy
- 13 cup maple syrup
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1-2 whole star anise pods (optional)
- 2 cardamom pods
- 2 oranges (sliced)
- 2 pears (sliced)
- 13 cup fresh cranberries
- NaN-NaN cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Add the wine, cider, orange juice, brandy, and maple syrup to a stock pot over medium-low heat and whisk well.
- Add the cinnamon, cloves, star anise, cardamom, one sliced orange, and one sliced pear. You can also use mulling spice mix as well. If you go that route, use 1 to 2 tablespoons.
- Bring to a very gentle simmer but do not let the mixture boil; otherwise, the alcohol will cook out. Stir every 10 minutes or so and simmer at low heat for one hour (or up to 3 hours).
- Remove spices and mulled fruit. Add cranberries, pomegranate, and another sliced orange and pear. Let infuse for 10 to 15 minutes at low heat, then serve warm.
